I.e. they started creating minions only at levels 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 and later decided to increase some of the minions' level to have more variety. The levels in the encounter calculator would then represent an older incarnation of the minions.The problem is that due to the exception-based monster design and missing guidelines for creating minions noone can really tell which is the case. We currently have to trust the designers to spot all the errors. I also have the impression we won't get errata for every error the designers spot. We'll only get errata for errors that are deemed important enough to make a difference. This might be one of the cases they didn't see as important.There are other monsters that make people wonder if they've been set at the correct level like the needlefang swarm or the deathjump spider. I consider it likely that these will be included in later errata and changed in some way.</blockquote>
