PF NPC CR's in 3.5

[Eduardo Godinez]

Hi all, I'm sorry if there was a thread alreadyd, but I did a search and found nothing, so here it goes:
I was reading Pathfinders' SRD and noticed the changes to NPC's with class levels CR, and got thinking, how would it work in 3.5? What do you think? Has anyone tried lowering their Classed NPC's CR's?

Heck, yeah. I did that from day 1. In 3.5, a Wiz5, for example, is certainly not a CR5 encounter. It's much easier.

Yeah, I was thinking so too, since my party wiped out my carefully crafted first boss (5th level cleric) in record time :(
