09-10-04, 06:34 AM Normally a medium-sized skeleton is CR 1/2. What is the CR of one that has 5/slashing?

09-10-04, 09:21 AM It depends on what they look like.

Seriously, a lot of how an encounter goes depends on whether you can tell a monster's weakness just by looking at it. It's pretty easy with standard skeletons.

09-10-04, 09:24 AM Yeah...medium-sized skeletons. But what about them improved with 5/slashing?

09-10-04, 09:28 AM Just how would that work?

Replace the DR 5/bludgeoning with DR 5/slashing?

I would put the alteration to CR as neglible.
