Take one regular monster and replace it with 4 minions at the same level. <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=";)" /> Or take two, or an elite. When replacing, start with monsters first whose role is already covered (so if there are two soldiers, and 1 skirmisher, make it a 1 soldier, 1 skirmisher, 4 minions encounter). To "minionize" existing monster, I suggest trying this: Hit points set to 1, damage minimized. Maybe that's very obvious to do, but, well, maybe you should just try it. <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=";)" />Yesterday, I looked at the encounter building guidelines, and noticed that a lot of encounter templates seem to feature lower level monsters, but therefor more of them. Maybe use on of those, and replace regular monsters with minions.</blockquote>
