D0 Random Encounter Encounter Levels


Adventures


I'm currently preparing to run D0. I'm looking over the random encounter chart on page 5. It lists the encounter level of the Kobold Shaman as 1/4. However he is a zombie so I belive he sould be EL 1/2?

As well the last encounter is a pair of wovles. Its been a while since I've run a game but shouldn't two CR 1 creatures be EL 2? It is listed as EL 3.

I just unsure if I am seeing everything correctly, am I missing something?

The overall rule is (per DMG), double the creatures, add two to Encounter Level. With two CR5 monsters, it's pretty fair, but two CR1 bolstering an encouinter to EL3 does not seem to fit. As funny as it would seem, it makes sense overall: if you take double the time to kill both monsters, those critters will deal about 3 times the damage to you (concentrate on monster 1, both critters hack at you, deal with monster 2, only 1 reamining opponent will harm you).
