Monsters by Challenge Rating
Challenge Rating (CR) is used on NS4 to determine experience points awarded for killing a particular creature, and is an indicator of creature difficulty. Killing creatures of higher CR will award more XP. Killing creatures of lower CR than your character level will award proportionately lower XP, down to no XP award for much lower level creatures.
Your Effective Character Level (ECL) will also affect the amount of XP earned. ECL 3 being the most punitive. View the races and their ECL penalties on the Race Table page.
