CR for 3.5 Monsters?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hey everyone, I've been meaning to expand my repertoire of monsters a bit by the 3.5 books I still have laying around (namely Monster Manual III and Draconomicon) but before I throw old monsters at the players I wanted to make sure they don't have a too easy time dispatching them. Since both classes and player races have been improved in terms of power level (except for those classes maybe, that already had all the power you ever need) I wanted to know wether it would be advisable to adjust the challenge rating of the 3.5 Monsters to make sure that Challenge and reward fit or if the Bestiary Monsters are no stronger than 3.5 monsters.

Any advice?

Many of the monsters in the later monster books are stronger than the ones in monster manual 1 of the same CR, so all you should have to do is add the extra feats, and they should be ok.
