For instance:Solo + Elite + 2x NormalSolo + 2xElite + Normal2xSolo + 2xNormalA well coordinated party can easily take down 6+ minions in one round, so it is something I would through in on top of at least 3 ordinary+ mobs. For instance:Solo + 2xElite +6xMinionSolo +3xNormal +6xMinionSolo + Elite + Normal + 8xMinionI don't like using mobs that are lower level than the characters because they have problems hitting and do too little damage. Soldiers being the only exception to this. Soldiers are OP compared to the other types. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />An encounter with a Solo is often a high-point in a campaign and I want the fight to be the Fight to remember. A fight with a single enemy gets static real fast, which is no fun at all. Non-static fights is one of the high-points of 4e.I came up with one house-rule for solo mobs: They can make a save against one effect at the START of their own turn at the normal +5, or make a save against all effects at the normal +0. This makes status effects a lot less fun on the boss. The players will then use them on the sidekicks instead, allowing the boss to shine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It might not be necessary if you run the solo-encounter as hard as described above.</blockquote>
