I recently found a copy of the dm helper which is a table that allows you to guage potential critters by level, for both npcs and monsters.
I kinda wanna do something similar for cmb and cmd, if it isn't done already, just to get an idea of the "guage" when building stuff.
For example at a CR 1, a fighting class would have x cmb and xx cmd, wheras a non fighting class would have a lower cmb and cmd respectively.
any ideas on where to begin so it matches up?
posting a screen shot of that GM Helper thingie would help a lot since you are assuming we know what that is...
If I understand what he's asking for, it's pretty simple.
It's just a grid with CMD's accross the top from 1 to 40, and CMB's down the left hand side from 1 to 40.
Then you find the CMB on the left, and go over to the column that matches the CMD. The number in that square is the DC of the person attacking to hit.
