Does anybody have a favored method for altering monster stats?  So far, I've just been changing attack bonus, damage, and defenses to match the level I want.  I don't try it with monsters more than n+5, to avoid pitting the players against powers they can't handle, but I have no minimum monster level that I won't beef up to meet the PCs' level.

I haven't seen any officially suggested way to do this, even though I've found it to be essential for making encounters.

You mean other than DMG pg174? There are official guidelines for up/down-leveling monsters... oO

I'm even worse - I just use the Monster Builder. Very handy for changing/re-skinning/levelling/de-levelling monsters.
