If you can't withstand the monster for more than a round even when optimizing for sturdiness, you choose other strategies, such as battlefield denial.While there's nothing wrong with such strategies it tells me monsters don't work as solos straight out the box.They need more actions and more hp but not higher damage, to summarize it crudely.In short, and going straight to the point; what solos need is nothing less than being able to play by different rules than regular creatures.They need more attacks and hit points than possible for a regular creature of a certain capacity.It's like a Commoner with 30 hit points and two attacks, yet it still has no higher proficiency bonus, skills or stats. The game puts requirements on a Solo combat that can't be met as long as you insist they play by the same generation/build rules as other monsters.As long as WotC hesitates to give us such Solo rules they cannot succeed.Sent from my C6603 using <a href="http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205" target="_blank">EN World mobile app</a></blockquote>
