[QUOTE="Nymrohd, post: 5509733, member: 59126"] What is an epic tier rank and file monster? This is one thing I never understood myself. The few epic adventures that I have run focused heavily on skill challenged, role-playing, and occasional but challenging setpiece battles. I find the idea of a commonly encounter yet epic difficulty monster peculiar; if small armies of these exist, why don't they just take over everything? I remember this was probably my biggest complaint on the baldur's gate series (which is a videogame were I can make excuses for this kind of thing quite easily), the numerous level 21+ drow mooks with +5 weapon and armor. My own solution to epic tier mooks has been small armies of them or downgrading paragon elites to normals. But in general I really wonder what else you can do on Epic. [/QUOTE]
