Since monster levels were tied the XP value they gave, it was easily possible to take a high level monster and recreate it at a lower level as an Elite or Solo monster.So if we take the giants for exemple, a Standard Stone Giant was level 14, or worth 1000xp. But if you wanted to make it a Solo Creature threat for lower level parties, you could just look at the level of a Solo creature worth the same XP and go from there. So in the case of the Stone Giant worth 1000xp, it would be the same as a level 5 Solo creature. You then just had to look at the easy rules to create Solo monsters in the DMG and recreate the Stone Giant as a Solo monster. You would then have a epic balanced encounter for a level 5 party using a level 14 monster.</blockquote>
