Villain Question.

[Carl Flaherty]

For the next phase - should I get that far - how do you want us determing the CR of our character?.

For example: Is a Lvl 7 Half-Orc Barbarian a CR 7 (per the SRD) or CR 5 (per Pathfinder RPG Beta p. 291)?

Uh-Oh, looks like someone's feeling confident!

Nope. But I was also convinced that my submission would not advance (being a camping item), so I didn't do much with my villain.

I don't want to be caught flat-footed again. :)

I'll take a cut at explaining that, if you want?

The CR for a Lvl 7 Half-Orc Barbarian is still CR 7. But the Pathfinder RPG Beta methodology for building an encounter would treat him as CR 5 when working out an appropriately designed challenge in relation to a party's APL.

"Design a villain for a fantasy campaign world, as might appear in a published adventure or campaign sourcebook, for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta Release."

Ah. Okay.

But, is Mr. Spicer's analysis correct? (My intuition says no, but ...)

And, of course, being at work my rulebook is not handy.

Gods that sounds familiar (goes back to reviewing again)

Crap, something else to panic about.

I hit the submit button, but didn't get any sort of conformation.
