[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4345099, member: 43019"] Some people object to how tough creatures like goblins and kobolds can be at 1st level, or want something that's more of a step between a minion and a full fledged level 1 monster. These rules are for them. The principle is very simple. Apply the rules for lowering level from the DM's Toolbox (DMG p174) to monsters of 1st or 2nd level until you make them 0th or -1st level. Assign them XP values of 75 and 50 respectively - this is technically a break from the standard xp progression. This is on purpose to compare more easily to the 25 XP Level 1 Minion and because the difference in hit points is a more noteworthy percentage of change than other level changes. As a reminder, each level you decrease you decrease attacks and defenses by 1. For every 2 levels, you decrease damage by 1. Skills, ability checks, and initiative should be decreased by 1 at -1 level (and 1st if coming from 2nd, etc). You also decrease hit points by an appropriate amount based on the role. Most 0th level monsters, should be Con Score + Role HP (Between 6 and 10), while -1st level monsters should be just Con Score. Multiply by 2 or 4 for elites or solos, if you choose to actually use them. 0th level monsters will now be referred to as 'Lesser' monsters, while -1st level monsters will be referred to as 'Minor' monsters. This allows you to create an easier HP and XP progression between level 1 monsters and minions. For example, a Dire Rat is 100 XP and 38 hp, and a Giant Rat is 25 XP and 1 hp. A lesser dire rat is 75 XP and 28 hp, and a minor dire rat is 50 XP and 18 hp. Let me know what you think. I really think this simple idea would be appreciated by an awful lot of people. To make it easier to grok, here are a whole bunch of examples applied to the Monster Manual: Dire Rat, Goblin Blackblade, Goblin Warrior, Kobold Slinger, Kobold Skirmisher, Stirge Lesser Dire Rat Level 0 Brute Medium natural beast XP 75 Initiative +2 Senses Perception +5; low-light vision HP 28; Bloodied 14 AC 14; Fortitude 14, Reflex 12, Will 10 Immune filth fever (see below) Speed 6, climb 3 :bmelee: Bite (standard; at-will) * Disease +3 vs. AC; 1d6 + 2 damage, and the target contracts filth fever (see below).
