The difference between CR and ECL
So the question is simple, what is the difference between challenge rating and effective character level? I understand one is for monsters, and the other is players. But I do not see why they do not just use one for both (allowing easy comparisons), and does a CR 5 equal an ECL of 5?
Following on from this, I see when you add templates it has level adjustment (for ECL) and increase to CR, these are usually different, why?
Thanks in advance!
