The are all legal except I have given them Expertise as a free feat. The first 3 encounters have been laughable. The damage of the monsters is pitiful. And the PCs are hitting on rolls of 3 or 4 quite often. I'm starting to think that the Expertise Feat is an unnecessary overkill. Also, I am getting the feeling that these large creatures need to have threatening reach as an in built feature. They are missing quite a lot, and when they do hit... pfff barely a dent made. All three encounters have been lvl 11 but the monsters are mainly lower level. Still it's only just begun... we'll see. I don't know if reducing HPs or defenses is necessary at all. The Ranger/Fighter took down a  Troll by himself in one round with a critical hit. Over 100hp. Anyway, I don't want to derail this, but I do call into question that reducing HPs of monsters should be a standard parctice. I will be better informed by experience as I go along I imagine.</blockquote>
