I'm preparing to run through Chapter 3 of Prey for Death, and as I have a 5 player party I was running through encounters and tweaking the ones that I thought would need a boost. I figured I'd adjust the final fight at the Nexus by adjusting Soleil to be Elite, and when doing so I noticed that Soleil's perception in the book (29) is already equivalent to the perception for an Elite Phoenix (29). For a 4 player party the Elite adjustment would put this encounter neatly at 120 XP for a Severe encounter (without the adjustment it's 110 XP). This made me wonder -- was Soleil just intended to be an Elite Phoenix? Or is it common to adjust only the initiative for monsters like this?
