The initial monster selection was far too variant in capability, suggesting a very serious flaw (or lack) in their initial damage setting system. An Oni Night Haunter might do, say, 19 damage, total, before dying... as an elite. While a single bloodfire harpy, same level normal, might manage 130 damage. I actually had 347/487 MM1 monster listed as definitely needing damage improvement, prior to MM3, and just 15/487 MM1 monsters listed as potentially high damage. Course, by MM3 standards the latter might be a smaller list... stuff like the Hobgoblin Warcaster just barely makes that cut, and it is slightly over MM3 values (it basically just does a 1-2 13 damage blast 5 enemies only, half on miss and 1-2 15 damage melee attacks), but it hardly sticks out anymore.</blockquote>
