A level 1 monster's AC and HP depends on its role:Soldiers: AC 17 and 16 + con HPControllers: AC 15 and 16 + con HPLurkers: AC 15 and 12 + con HPArtillery: AC 15 and 12 + con HPBrutes: AC 13 and 20 + con HPThe original DMG furthermore describes attack bonus being decided by role as well but this turns out to be a less great idea. I've found that flat attack bonuses for all roles work much better. A level 1 monster should have a +6 attack bonus with its attacks that target AC and +4 with all other attacks. Furthermore AoE attacks should have an extra -2 penalty to attack rolls (so an AoE that targets Will for example would have a bonus of +2).Damage is a little more tricky to scale since it increases at a nonlinear rate due to the increases in healing ability and what not. I'd just guesstimate it with the following chart:2d10 - Extremely deadly2d8 - Very powerful1d12 - Strong damage1d10 - Upper moderate damage1d8 - Lower moderate damate1d6 - Weak damageMinions: Should probably deal 5-7 damage depending on their role</blockquote>
