[QUOTE="shadewest, post: 4380231, member: 56046"] I'm not one for flat out saying it, but if i put over a dozen minis on the board, the players ought to figure that some of them are going to be minions. I like to keep them guessing, but since about 50% of all the oponnents i use are minions anyway, it's not like the PCs don't get a chance to be badass. It shouldn't take long before the players figure out that the bigger, or better dressed, of different species monsters are the ones to worry about. I actually try to have a skirmisher or soldier in the mix for every four minions or so, identically described, to keep them from getting too overconfident. If things start to go bad, these "sergeants" will start giving orders to give themselves away. One thing I won't do is use monsters that only appear as minions. Legion devils were a bad idea. Athough, if i give one in four the fighter class template, and one in 10 the warlord template, things get interesting. [/QUOTE]
