[QUOTE="Bregh, post: 1978393, member: 9285"] Hardly [u]hidden[/u] considering its right there beside the pertinent encounter statistics, along with the information for arms and armour. Really, what more do you need to determine their ability in combat, especially given the standards of the day for these kinds of thing? G1-3 only gave you Hit Points for stats (not unlike the main body text of a lot of current WotC products) presuming that the referee had the wherewithal to mark the brevity and know the rest of what he needed was in the monster manuals (or the other appropriate rulebook). This was a high-level module, not meant for players or DMs without a little experience under their belt. Given the experiences already posted above, I'd say your complaints in this specific regard are in the minority, and possibly more than a little over-blown. At any rate, you seem determined to cling to a negative perception of this module based on its apparent arbitrariness. I have demonstrated where your specific arguments regarding this are not so. The reader otherwise unfamiliar with the product at least now may consider both possibilities. [/QUOTE]
