Hello,
I'm new to PF and one of my player would like to play a Kobold. I'm ok with that but a little confused about its CR.
here:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/humanoids/kobold
it says:
"Kobolds are defined by their class levels—they do not possess racial Hit Dice. A kobold with NPC class levels takes a –3 penalty to its CR (rather than the normal –2 penalty)."
With an exemple:
"Kobold Rogue 2 (CR 1/2)"
If i understand correctly:
Rogue 2 => CR2
Kobold with class => -2 to CR
2-2=> CR=1/2
So, i can say: Kobold Rogue 1 (CR 1/3) or Kobold Warrior 2 (CR 1/3) or Kobold Rogue 4 (CR 2). Am i right?
Then, the Advanced teamplate:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/advanced-creatu re-cr-1
It gives CR+1
Thus, i would have:
Advanced Kobold Rogue 4 (CR 3)
Finally, as i would like to have people with the same CR in my group, let's say one player is a Human Rogue 3 (CR 3), then, the Kobold has to be either:
Kobold Rogue 5 (CR 3)
or
Advanced Kobold Rogue 4 (CR 3)
And they are both clearly more powerfull than the Human Rogue 3 but have the same CR.
So my question is: where am i wrong here?
