Formula for Special Cohorts

For example, Dragon, wyrm white counts as 41th level for purpose of being Cohort. He has 34-35HD and CR19. So, (1,1714285714285714285714285714286) of Level/HD and (2,1578947368421052631578947368421) Level/CR

Succubus counts as 12th level for purpose of being Cohort. She has 7-12 HD, CR7. So, 1 Level/HD and (1,7142857142857142857142857142857) Level/CR.

So, i don't see obvious consistence there. I want to get formula or table for using any creature as Cohort - but, it's hard to see that. What kind of parameter or method is used there? --95.71.91.148 08:56, 26 September 2024 (MDT)

• I got it. SRD:Reading_Creature_Entries#Level_Adjustment has it. Creature's HD + Class levels + Level Adjustment. --95.71.91.148 12:39, 26 September 2024 (MDT)
  • There's some parts it doesn't align in:
    • So, for "Dragon, wyrm white", they mean Great Wyrm. Regular Wyrm is 38 ECL. 95.71.91.148 12:45, 26 September 2024 (MDT)
    • SRD:Cloud_Giant is written as 24, if his sum of HD and Level Adjustment is 17. 95.71.91.148 12:45, 26 September 2024 (MDT)
    • SRD:Green Dragon of Ancient size is written as 40th, while his sum of HD and LA is 38. All this is messed up. 95.71.91.148 12:56, 26 September 2024 (MDT)
    • SRD:Twelve-Headed Hydra is written as 19 - but has sum of HD and LA of 12. 95.71.91.148 13:00, 26 September 2024 (MDT)
