Hi. [puzzled] I consider myself a reasonable woman, but this newest change in BE creature levels has left me confused and lost.

Some of the critters I made for my boyfriend that were CL 10 were invalid. My little CL 10 Jax was invalid. Now, I expected this as they were kind of high in HAM.

So, I settled on going back in and experiementing with DNA, and resampling the critters I made and making new templates out of them, and experimenting on the lowered sample stats to make new critters. I do this often as I practice my skill, gain experience and so on. I make creatures, resample, and remake until I run out of fresh and resampled DNA.

I resampled a CL 17 Kaadu, and CL 18 Bunny (Squall) I made, and threw the samples in. The stats were initially low, but luckily most stats like dexterity and intellect were below 200, Fortitude was under 100, and Hardiness was in the high 80's...my power was around 52. So I figured it might be a CL 11 or 12. I wasn't worried as I wasn't actively trying to make anything. This is what I got on the Final Combine:

Dewback

CL 10

Health 1529

Action 1450

Mind 2006

Kinetic Resist 19

Energy Resist 29

Acid Resist 10

All other's vulnerable

Damage: 55-65

Stunning Strike Special.

My boyfriend loves dewbacks, so since he lost his CL 10 dewback that I made for him, I decided to give him this one. So I tamed it from the radial to see if I could call it. It's reported as invalid as well.

This is where I'm confused. I understand 'older' pets made before this system was in place might get the invalid pet command, but I made this pet under the new system 'along' with the new crafting system, which I assume applies to BE experimentation as well? I know my experiments certianly seem to be alot more subdued in stat raising, which doesn't bother me so much as I feel like the experimentation process is a lot more..controlled, rather than the odd increases or decreases I'd occassionally get under the old system.

I'm just not sure 'what' to do. What's a legal CL 10 pet. This was CL 10 under the new system and it's invalid? The only way I'd have known it was invalid was by trying to call it. Will this be what BE's need to do when they make a CL 10 pet from now on? I'd have felt really bad is I made a similar CL 10 pet, sold it to someone looking for a pet, only to find out they could not call it.

When I adjusted it's levels, it comes out to CL 13, incidentally, which is the same level that Jax I made under the old system came to.

I'm just not sure what to do here. I 'really' love this profession, but I feel so in the dark here.

Any help anyone can give is appreciated.

What about these resists?

This pet is fully grown and calls fine.
