NPC CR & XP value


Rules Questions


Hi all, I'm a new Pathfinder player/DM. I'm a long time D&D player, but during the 2000's, I didn't play much, so that meant no 3rd edition.

I started playing again with 4th edition, and now wish I had just started with Pathfinder instead. Better late than never, right?

Anyhow, with all that out of the way, I was working on creating an villain last night. A Rogue 5/Assassin 1. The part I'm struggling with is determining his XP value and CR level. Either the rules aren't totally clear, or I'm just not getting it. Help?

Thanks in advance.


CR 5

Base Rule for class total PC class level -1 is CR ie Wizard level 15 is CR 14

Or NPC class -2 ie Warrior level 6 CR 4

Next three are guild but not hard fast rule.

Better base race thenn Add more depenent to race ie Gnoll +1

Better then NPC stats then add +1

Better than NPC wealth then add +1
