Zug Zug.

We all know how class levels work with respects to CR. Each additional class level adds +1 to the creature's CR. However, as can be seen in many examples, this factors in additional equipment (such as the Mind Flayer Sorcerer). How do people estimate/equivalate "naked" class levels (as in class levels with no equipment attached)?

No equipment what-so-ever? Hmmmm. That's tough.

Sorcerer: The same, +1 CR.
Monk: Likewise.
Bard: Again, +1.
Druid: Not as powerful... maybe 3/4ths a CR.
Cleric: Same.
Barbarian: Same again... around 3/4ths.
Ranger: ½
Paladin: ½
Fighter: ½
Rogue: 1/4th
Wizard: 1/4th (or less) (doesn't have spellbook, so can't memorize spells)

If the Wizard gets his spellbook, make him +3/4ths as well.

That's my take on it, in any case.
