"It is recommended that for every 3 levels gained by the
group, the monster character should gain an extra level,
received halfway between the 2nd and 3rd levels. Repeat
this process a number of times equal to half the monster’s
CR, rounded down." -Beastiary, p.314
Some GMs will have a player round up to nullify that 1 CR that usually gets in the way of keeping up with the group. The way I read the passage makes it a moot point. The first half of that passage says to give an extra level between 2 and 3. The second half says to Repeat this process additional times 1/2 CR rounded down.
To repeat something is to do something that has already been done.
Is my perception on this reading appropriate?
I did not want to necro any old posts on various related topics from three years ago as well as attempt to bring this wording to attention.
