[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7216149, member: 996"] It can be unpredictably deadly at very low level, but, as in the classic game it evokes, there's a 'sweet spot' where you get the best play experience most readily. And, it's broader, now, than back in the day, IMHO, 3-12 or therebouts, rather than 3e's 1-6 or 1e's 3-8. Yep, much like it was in 3e, or like a same-level Solo vs the assumed party of 5 in 4e. A higher CR, of course, would present a greater challenge - and for a party of 3-5, there's not even the added complication of the multiplier. Part of the point of BA was to be able to use 'the same monster' instead of having secondary roles like minion or elite. So, in that sense all CR 1+ creatures are 'solos' for a low enough level party, and, for a slightly tougher party 'elite,' while CR 1- can be like minions to a higher level party... [/QUOTE]
