DMG versus dndR

dndR versus DMG Comparisons

See below for some comparisons between my functions and the Dungeon Master’s Guide statistics they attempt to recapitulate.

cr_convert vs. DMG

cr_convert is embedded in the monster_stats function and is what allows that function to handle both CR and XP inputs. The DMG specifies the XP value of a monster of any CR from 0 to 30 so cr_convert uses the formula of that line to avoid querying the table for this conversion.

Below is the comparison of the DMG’s XP-to-CR curve and the one produced by cr_convert.

xp_pool vs. DMG

The DMG specifies the XP threshold per player for a given difficulty while my function asks for the average player level and the party size. This difference keeps the function streamlined and flexible for parties of any size. Rather than embedding the DMG’s table for encounter XP, xp_pool actually uses the formula for the line defining the XP-party level curve implicit in the DMG. This has the added benefit of being able to handle non-integer values for average party_level.

Below is a comparison of the DMG’s XP-to-party level curve versus the one obtained by xp_pool.
