Clearly the solo brute isn't equal to the solo soldier, and arguably maybe not the other (solo) roles.The suggestion from WotC is that solo monsters don't conform as strictly to the roles as standard monsters. But in the end the math still matters.Skirmisher seems to be the default build. With Lurker having less hit points but (supposedly) doing more damage. Controllers have no +2 init. bonus, but +1 better attack vs. defenses. They also supposedly use the low damage column (more often than not), but their attacks will affect multiple targets and are usually ranged and will inflict conditions.  Indeed. Yes, I definately would.I think Skirmisher, Brute, Lurker, Controller and Artillery are all balanced against each other when the hit points are retained.Well for me its pertinent because I am putting together a third party 4E bestiary called Vampires & Demons, so I want to have things as balanced as possible.Thats interesting, hadn't spotted that. But given the other Hydra's don't follow that and neither does the Silver Dragon we can probably chalk that up to a mistake.I would always at least use the maximum dice allowable...naturally ability score bonuses may vary a bit.Its fairly obvious the Bebilith has a number of design flaws, what is surprising is how many.</blockquote>
