The minion thing.... yeah, it became obvious whenever the DM put three or more of the same enemies on the table what they were, those could use an update (or deletion, although I like the idea of having tons of foes for the PC's to carve through).Also, in every edition I knew when I was fighting the mooks, the middle-man and finally the boss. I mean, if I'm fighting some orcs with spears at the exterior of the cave structure, then I advance and find some wearing full armor and having well made weapons, then I enter the throne room and see an orc sitting on the throne there, it's pretty obvious what role they're occupying. 4e was no different than any other edition for that.</blockquote>
