Hi. I am looking over the final baddies for Retaking Rannick. I usually try to rebuild them in Hero Lab just to get a better feel (sometimes not really changing anything) and pick up on little things I may have missed.
Well, Jaagrath has me confused. It lists him as a CR 10 (makes sense, CR 3 ogre+ 7 Barb), but Hero Labe claims that only makes him a CR 9.
Also, he is listed as having DR 2/-, but Barbarians only get DR 1/- at that level. So that's odd.
Can anyone explain these? The former could be HL being dumb with creatures/class levels, but the DR 2 has me baffled.
You do know that you can download premade stats for everyone, don't you? Some chaps crafted the adventure packs, though you'll also need an additional download to use it properly. The benefit is it also includes all magic items that appear in the game but aren't in the rules. :)

You'll have to download the patch to use this material without it giving you constant errors (and there are still glitches, mind you, but it's minor nuisances at most). The instructions can be found at that URL, however.

That's fine and seems like a neat product. However it doesn't answer my original question as to whether the CR listed in the book, as well as the character's DR.
Also, I rebuild them from scratch as a way to help me learn about them and make changes as I see fit; more of a learning experience than a chore (I like doing it.)

Most math errors like that show up in the Errata thread. Specifically, the DR is here.
So the DR is probably a straight-up error, but I don't see anything about CR.
One random thing CR might be is Wealth-By-Level. If he has full WBL, he'll get +1 CR. It might be worth adding up his magical items to see if they're up there... or not.
Cheers!
