I'm not saying it isn't, just you have to ask that question whenever you field some monsters, does this make sense in this specific situation? Often GMs drop in these type monsters just because its a 'boss' or something like that. Without really thinking through the encounter design in a systematic way. Standard monsters generally work better, not always, but usually work better within the action economy and other aspects of encounters. Given that we also have levels to play with, up to a point (+4 or so at the extreme) we can often dispense with the special monster roles.</p></blockquote><p></p>
