[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6906088, member: 463"] Had a great battle in my Runelords of the Shattered Star campaign today - Druid 8 PC & 4 level 7 PCs attacked the anti-Paladin Nualia (CR 6), 12 CR 2 Lamashtu cult fanatics (1 MM clerical caster, 2 crossbowmen & 8 rogue type sneak attackers) & 4 CR 2 yeth hounds on a bridge, trying to rescue a captive. Huge epic fight with the Cleric PC going down to a swam of cultists, the PC Wizard having to drop fireball on her own comrades to turn the tide, and Nualia retreating only to be caught by the Monk, who she proceeded to obliterate in one round of smiting and spellcasting before going down herself to the vengeful party & the Druid's summoned hippogriff spirits. As far as solo monsters go, well they work well vs solo PCs... if you want an edition where solo monsters make a fun battle, there's 4e. 5e is better than 3e/PF, but clearly 1 monster vs 4/5 PC boss fights were not a major design goal.
