So the DM should not complain that the players are metagaming when the epic wizard opens up with a scorching burst to take out multiple minions.Or are minions meant to be indistinguishable from normal enemies, which may fool PCs into expending encounter or even daily powers on them if they mistake them as normal foes?The latter clearly makes minions a little more tricky. If the kobold minion is indistinguishable from a kobold warrior, my fighter may not think of cleaving him, even if that is clearly the best option.</blockquote>
