Keep in mind it says over and over in the books that suggested threat
ratings are merely a guideline. In the source book it even suggest
multiplying threat ratings by 1.5 times if NPC's aren't a match for your
players.
My players play smart and hard, and so far I've found giving spirits a
threat rating equal to force gives the game balance and threat they like.
So I'll keep it as that.
Personally I find giving a Great Dragon any kind of threat rating
ludicrous. Hell, they won't even list stats for Harlequin, but they'll slap
a threat rating of twelve on a Great Dragon???
Besides, I thought most people on the list wrote Prime Runners off as a
source not really to be consulted or quoted. ;o)
