[QUOTE="Ashardalon, post: 4165019, member: 2257"] There does seem to be some rhyme and reason to the statting of NPCs and monsters in 4E. Some people managed reverse-engineer hit point formulas and XP formulas. They do seem to create minimums, however, rather than fixed values. And let's not forget the half-level bonus, on which the New Math[sup](tm)[/sup] seems to rely very strongly. The recently published malebranche actually is right on target regarding the hit points predicted by this system (255 for a 22nd level Brute with Con 25). Its XP is a bit above what seems to be considered normal, perhaps due to its Leader-ness. The succubus seems to be off-target for a 9th level Controller with Con 10 - the formula I have predicts 70 hp rather than the 90 she has. On the other hand, the formula does predict 90 hp for Soldiers and Skirmishers with those stats, so maybe I simply have copied a wrong Controller formula. [/QUOTE]
