I will tell the players the appoximate power level, the role of the monster and some of the abilities they could expect it to use. 4e combat is very much a tactical affair and I find that having a certain amount of informaiton is necessary in order for the players to make sensible choices and not to feel that everything is just a chaotic mess. A fight can very much feel that it is left to DM fiat if monsters just keep pulling out wierd and wonderful abilities with little explaination. I do like keeping big surprises, but I like the basics to be knowable.</blockquote>
