How to Handle ELs / CRs?

[ChillBro Baggins]

I am experimenting with entering some geographical information into my first realm.

In my case, there are 18 regions in the campaign setting, and each one region has many geographical features I want to detail. One piece of information is the average Encounter Level (EL) of the geographic feature.

Any advice on how best to implement this piece of information?

One option would be to put the EL into a snippet, perhaps as the GM Directions component of the first snippet for the topic within the Overview section.

A second option would be to create a tag domain called "Encounter Level" that contained tags for each level (e.g. 1 through 10). You could then assign the appropriate tag to each encounter. This latter approach would be ideal if you wanted to filter/search your content to find topics with a given set of ELs.

Hope this helps!
