If Critter X are typically level 6 then you typically can expect to encounter them around levels 4 to 8. It's possible to go a bit beyond but it's not really ideal.If they flatten the bonus-curve a bit you might extend that 5-level range into a 10-level range. That makes them more significant but it's not like you'll never out-level the monsters.Possibly they could also extend the power of leader-type monsters, who are elites (ie. much harder to kill) and provide significant upgrades to their followers. That way you can take some basic orcs and give them a shaman of Gruumsh who gives the other orcs bonuses to hit and/or damage, essentially leveling up the basic ones for as long as the shaman lives.</blockquote>
