I miss soft targets

[Ourph]

I was thinking about 4e monsters tonight and I just realized that I miss the truly soft targets from 3e. Bags and bags of hit points, single digit ACs. They aren't the kind of monster that you always want to fight, but they do serve as the occasional interesting diversion.

This seems easy enough to do with 4e. Double the HPs and halve the AC on a party-level solo monster. That should do the trick.

Soft targets are cool because they are good choices to try to hit with interesting but low-accuracy powers. So bust out your power attack, your racial implementless powers, and your low-stat multiclass powers. To a certain extent they reward non-optimizers more than optimizers, which is a fun way to mix things up.

I like the templates, Mustrum. I'd be very happy if some monsters came out like that in future MMs. Wasn't there a construct with that tough to crack trait? Magma something or other?
