How to Use the PF2e Creature Stats & CR Calculator
The creature building tables in the GM Core give you four budget tiers for each statistic: Extreme, High, Moderate, and Low. A well-designed creature typically mixes tiers - for example, a heavily armored brute might have High AC and Extreme HP but only Low attack bonus and saves. Mixing tiers creates interesting tactical variety.
As a PF2e CR calculator, this table helps you gauge the relative threat level of a creature. A creature built with mostly High or Extreme stats at its level is significantly more dangerous than the same creature with mostly Low stats. Use the encounter calculator to see how that creature's level contributes to your total XP budget.
When building NPCs or custom monsters, start with the level that matches the encounter role you want, then select each stat from the appropriate tier. Spell DCs for caster enemies and save DCs for their abilities come directly from the Spell DC / Class DC column. Cross-reference with the DC reference for skill check and environmental DCs.
