Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out where in the D&D 4.0 DM's guide does it give what monsters are appropriate for a bunch of 1st level'ers. Am I limited to kobolds and skeletons and giant rats?
Thanks,
Jas
In another post, it says
There are nine encounters in roughly the normal spread of difficulty (one level -2, three level +0, two level +1, four level +2, one level +3)
What are the -2, and -1 monsters for first level characters? Given the new rules, do I use a whole bunch of minions?

There are no level -1 or level -2 monsters for level 1 characters. The solution, if you really want to throw especially easy encounters at them, is to simply lower the experience value of the fight by removing monsters. Instead of five 1st-level monsters, have the party fight three or four. This won't be an especially challenging encounter, but it does accomplish your goal.

I use the appendix in the back of the MM - it lists all of the monsters in the book by level and role (Brute, Soldier etc). Very handy. As far as I know there is no listing of monsters in the DMG.
