(this might actually boil down to be the same, but it's important to remind that the player's abilities are not used against the player themself)Typical Minion (used in group size three to four times the party size): 10-20 hpTypical Monster (used in group size equal to party size): 60-100 hpTypical "Boss" Monster (used alone, possible augmented by a few minions): 400+ hpGeneral numbers:The offensive At Will Powers will often be enough to kill a minion.The offensive Per Encounter Power will often be enough to kill a group of minions or a typical monster.No offensive power can directly take out the boss monster.Keep in mind that encounters might be mixed with the various "sizes" of monsters, and that  the terrain and distribution of monsters is variable (there is no guarantee that all minion type monsters cluster in a 20 ft area, for example - but they might). Some monsters have different movement capabilities, monsters have various types of attacks (spells, arrows, natural or manufactured melee weapons and so on)</blockquote>
