My only critic is he CR. 17 for a psion level 13 and druid 16? But I agree CR aren't simple to define. Great job!! At the most it would be CR 18 IMHO. To be honest I suspect its hovering around CR17.5 or so:P I based it as CR 16 due to the Druidic abilities and bumped it up as I figured the Psion levels would add one. A level 16 Druid and level 15 psion as 2 individuals is a EL 17 encounter as is my CR 17 Pyreen so I figured it was about right. Its not a final build either and I suspect it will end up looking alot like Athas.orgs version but slightly tweaked for my campaign as theirs is a beta release. I'm also statting out Rajaat which is about 60% done as I'm still working on his skills, spells and psionic powers. He clocks in at CR 44 anyway and should be up in the next day or 2. 5 days off work and trying to fit it in between Xbox live, Stargate Atlantis and general slacking around.

But I agree its not over 18 or 19 (at maximum). Espacially with the listed HP. Yet a PC with two classes would have a character level of 29. While true it doesn't matter so much for a NPC. a great Wurm red Dragon is CR 25 or so but for a PC its level 50 odd. 2 different things.
