Posted Aug 1, 2024Ya know..I understand moving a monster 1, or maybe two places up or down on the CR scale, because you want them to have a higher/lower proficiency, they have an ability that's hard to numerically measure which impacts difficulty, or you just want them to fit in with a set of equal CR monsters..but I've run the numbers twice, and unless I'm missing something, the Earth Elemental should be CR 9, going by the monster creation CR chart. That's not a minor discrepancy, heck it's the difference between an Easy and a Deadly encounter.

Posted Aug 1, 2024He's also freaking CR 9, rather then 5, if we go by the monster creation CR chart..that's not even factoring in cheesing earth Glide. Although an easy way to counter what you're talking about be a PC holding their action, or getting into a position where the elemental can't attack them without being in reach of multiple characters.
