If they are new to the game or just not DM'ing and haven't paid attention, I see where it could be confusing.They need to be told what they are and what they represent and why WoTC thought them up and the purpose they serve to the game.I also think this is why they suggest making them be identifiable by players. Because after your 3rd Vampire Lord explodes in death on the first hit, and other ones have taken 15 rounds to kill, the horrible inconsistency might begin to ruin the underlying logic of your world, But the players should be able to much more easily understand that something like a Vampire Spawn could wreak havoc against commoners, but that beyond a certain point, would stop being a legitimate threat to paragon level heroes as individual monsters.</blockquote>
