Hey guys!

 

I'm currently writing a PDF handbook for those who want to play GAMMA WORLD with the D&D 5/Basic rules. It's been in the works from the times of the playtest, and now it's finally reaching a decent shape. You'll hear more from me about that in the weeks to come.

 

At the moment, I'm working on the bestiary for the setting, using the Starter Set previews as a rule of thumb (with some variations, since Gamma World PCs normally dish out more damage and are tougher than a D&D character of the same level).

 

Sadly, I don't own the Starter Set (Italy!) and have found the XP ratings for the following CRs:

 

CR 1/8 (25 xp)

CR 1/2 (100 xp)

CR 1 (200 xp)

CR 2 (450 xp)

CR 3 (700 xp)

CR 4 (1.100 xp)

 

CR 1/2 and 2 are from D&D spoilers, CRs 1/8, 1, 3 and 4 are from a review with pictures I found on the net.

 

Could someone please tell me the XP rating for a CR 1/3 monster? I'm guessing 75 or 50 (probably 75), but I'm not sure.

 

Thanks in advance!

There isn't a 1/3 monster.

 

Here's what my analysis found in the Starter Set...

  • 1x CR 0
  • 3x CR 1/8
  • 4x CR 1/4
  • 3x CR 1/2
  • 5x CR 1
  • 5x CR 2
  • 4x CR 3
  • 1x CR 4
  • 1x CR 8

If you are after monster building advice you may find my blog useful over the next couple of weeks. You can follow along/comment back here if you like.

Could be either but I reckon they've gone with even fractions.
