I prefer my monsters more rare, and far more dangerous. Substituting human monsters (like brigands, raiders, criminals, etc.) when I require quantities.But in cases of games where the model is different than my preferred one, then I think Nifft is right too. In cases like that only powerful or uncanny (using the term loosely - I think that's what he's driving at with solos) monsters have to have unique or powerful effects.But personally I wouldn't let on to my players what effect any particular monster or monster remains may possess. They don't find that out til they encounter it. And since every monster is unique in my game the effects are not predictable.But with big or powerful monsters even the blood of two ancient blue dragons (as an example) could have different effects upon others when encountered. The blood of those two blue dragons could even have different effects upon the same individual. I'm not for formalizing and formulating and regulating it strictly, as much as I am for individualizing it. But others could work it differently. According to their way of operating.Anyways, I'm kinda writ out for the moment. My eyes are blurry.Night all.</blockquote>
