Monster Level/XP

[Knight Otu]

One Level X PC should be able to take on...
...Two Level X minions.

Four minions, actually, presumably because they are horribly fragile (the kobold minion states that minions die when hit by an attack that deals damage).

So a first level party of five could fight 20 (25 xp each) Kobold Minions? Sweet!

Exactly.

this kind of system is going to lead every DM to great encounters
I'll put up some 4E preview adventure too, maybe tomorrow, just to start playing around with this stuff
