In fact, that stuff is fun for players.I have a problem with "The DM did not roll dice, or I took the same 4 points of damage that I did last round, so this guy is a minion, or all of the guys with clubs are minions" type stuff.I have a problem with PC metgaming decisions made off of such obvious clues. Sure, the DM can go out of his way to change this up every once in a while, but he shouldn't have to. The rules should not be this blatant.I have a problem with "I'm not taking this At Will power because my other At Will power doesn't help against minions, so I cannot afford two such At Will powers, and the new WotC paradigm is to throw minions in most of the encounters".It's one thing to know that a given opponent is an archer. It's another to know that you never need to blow an Encounter or Daily on this guy because he is made of cardboard.Bottom line, I think the mechanic sucks as written for a number of reasons. Simplicity Ad Nauseum. It's like playing Tic Tac Toe instead of Chess. Not much of a challenge.</blockquote>
