The higher the '''challenge rating (CR)''' number, the more powerful the enemy. Commonly four characters of a certain level are able to defeat one creature with a CR equal to the average level of the characters with a moderate amount of difficulty. |

| − | It should be noted that these distinctions can become largely irrelevant on some [[local vault]] servers, simply because a player can edit his character at will and/or give their character items and weapons that far surpass the damage rating system. |
||
| − | This is also true for any server that allows a player to reach a high level because the challenge depends more on the equipment and character build than truly on their level. |

| − | == Formula == |
||
| − | The challenge rating of a creature is calculated using many sources, most notably [[hit dice]] (HD). The additive CR is calculated by multiplying a sum by the racial challenge rating modifier, obtained from the "CRModifier" column of the row for the creature's race in [[racialtypes.2da]]. The sum in question is of the following: |
||
| − | * HD * 0.15 |
||
| − | * (natural [[armor class]] modifier) * 0.1 |
||
| − | * [(total value of inventory items, excluding creature [[inventory slot|slot]]s) / (HD * 20,000 + 100,000) ] * 0.2 * HD |
||
| − | * [ ([[hit point]]s before constitution and feat bonuses) / (average hit points) ] * 0.2 * HD * (creature walk rate) / ([[player character]] walk rate) |
||
| − | * [ (total of [[ability score]]s before racial and other modifiers) / (HD + 50) ] * 0.1 * HD |
||
| − | * [ (total of [[innate level]]s of special abilities) / (HD + 6) ] * 0.15 |
||
| − | * [ (total of innate levels of usable spells) / (HD + 1) ] * 0.15 |
||
| − | * [ (innate [[saving throw|save]] modifiers) / (base saves) + 1 ] * 0.15 * HD |
||
| − | * [ (total of CR values of possessed feats) / (HD * 0.5 + 7) ] * 0.1 * HD |
||

| − | The natural armor class modifier is the modifier entered directly into the creature's properties via the Toolset. Similarly, the innate save modifiers are entered directly into the creature's properties. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The average hit points are the average hit point die rolls for each class. For example, a creature having the classes outsider 7/fighter 3 ([[d8]] and [[d10]] hit dice, respectively) would have average hit points of 7*(8 + 1)/2 + 3*(10+1)/2, which equals 48. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The walk rates are taken from the "WALKRATE" column of [[creaturespeed.2da]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For this calculation, the innate level of level 0 spells is counted as 0.5 instead of 0. |
