I have a couple of questions which might have been answered by people as they learned the new system back in mid December (was out of town until this last weekend). I've been poking around with this new system for a few days now and can't seem to get better control of the CL of the end creature. Is it an average of the DNA source creature CL you use or is it based on the stats of the DNA? I read somewhere that hardiness had some influence so I was tracking that but it seems skewed.

I've seen that there is a min CL for particular skins but is there a max CL?

Any other advice on how to make resists or specials stick would be appreciated to. (and I've given up on the search function here since it produces way too much noise in it's SNR)

TIA

Most of us are still trying to pin it down...
