Gruumsh, that is!  Eye of Wrath is a wonderfully flavorful staple power for them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />As expected, Traps and Encounter Building look fun and easy, too.  I cackle to think that I will be able to DM for the first time with 4th edition... all those other suckers in my group who DMed 3.Math are gonna be pretty envious.  I'd feel bad for them too, if it wasn't for the fact that I'll be enjoying myself so much just challenging them all with these wonderful creatures.And for 1 HP minions at ninth level... please!  You obviously haven't watched much Lord of the Rings.  If I'm going to send some Orcs at the PCs, I'm not going to throw in 4 Orcs and hope they stick.  They're going to be swarming into and over the PC defense line like Helm's Deep all over again.  If that means basic warriors who die to one solidly placed sword swing (or Arrow, or Fireball), so be it.  There's plenty more where they came from, and with marauding bloodthirsty Champions like these.... who really needs elite mooks?</blockquote>
