Note

The Challenge Ratings are based on the idea that you'll be with a party.

If you're going solo, it's suggested you add 2-3 levels to the CR (in many cases (Areas), you are better off adding 4-5 Levels...depending on your Build, and especially whether or not your Build utilizes Magic (divine/arcane) or UMD (considering how easily dispellable UMD is from Scrolls).

The stated CR of some areas is quite wildly different from the real difficulty.
