The system I use tells me that 5 level 7 minions are worth the same as a standard level 7 creature, instead of the usual 4. Encounter (level +2 for 6 level 8 PCS) 3000xp1x Flamboyant Bandit Leader (level 8 elite skirmisher) 700xp1x Bandit Archer (veteran) (level 8 elite artillery) 700xp1x Bandit Thug (veteran) (level 8 elite brute) 700xp15x Bandit (level 7 minion) 900xp  Flamboyant Bandit Leader Level 8 Elite Skirmisher (Leader) Medium Natural Humanoid XP 700  Initiative +12 Senses Perception +12, low light vision HP 180;
