4e Fan Creations and House RulesWorking on variant powers? Statting up a PC race or your version of a monster? Creating or converting an adventure? Put it here!
When you edit the monster click on the HP & DEFENSES section on the left hand side. You should then get in middle the details of that section. It starts with Initiative, etc... Starting after the section that contains the AC, Fort, Will, Ref, AP etc... you will see Auras, Senses, Weakness, etc... You may need to scroll down to see them. To add a new one just click on the plus sign and it will expand that section and give you a drop down list.
I appreciate your assistance, however, you can't add Immunity there. Unless I am dense tonight.
EDIT: I suppose I can use the Aura block and just label it Immunity, but that puts it in the wrong place on the monster block. Ah well it's a good work around. Thank you.

I can see with the new monster maker that many people are trying their hands at monster creation. That's always good to see. I built this thread to hone my monster creation skills and would like to pass that on to anybody else who wants to learn.
Here are some idea's for you to make when you feel like it.

How about a creature who is so fast he damaged you before the fight? He hit you from the future. Later it the fight, he actually perfromed the attack and if it misses, you gain HP because the future attack form the past misses.
Bastard Sword (standard; at-will) Weapon
+5 vs. AC; 1d6 + 2 damage, plus 1d6 damage when charging
Mobile Melee Attack (standard; at-will) Weapon
Centaur Swordman can move up to 4 squares and make one melee basic attack at any point during that movement. He doesn’t provoke opportunity
attacks when moving away from the target of his attack.
Quick Kick (immediate reaction, when a creature moves into a space where it flanks the centaur hunter; at-will)
Targets the triggering creature; +6 vs. AC; 1d6 + 2 damage
Combat Advantage
Centaur Swordsman deals an extra 1d6 damage on melee attacks against any target he has combat advantage against.
The next one I am working on is the Centaur Mastermind, I have him about 70% done need to come up with some interesting powers for him. Any suggestions in this area would be great.

Again, great work, just one thing though.

It`s easier to say that he shifts 4 squares, that means he doesn`t provoke opportunity attacks.

Greetings adventurers, as you may already know, I am Phidias, extraordinay artist and the great mother's favourite creation. I believe that you are here to reclain what I took from the church. Unfortunately, that can never happen, you see, you are imperfect, an insult to the great mother's ultimate power. The only path of salvation now is to become sculptures, dedicated to the perfection of my creation. Surrender peacefully and the petrfication will be quick and peaceful. Fight and you will be destroyed.
Thanks for statting up Phidias, the insane beholder sculptor. I like the idea of him denouncing the heroes as imperfect and him promising to resculpt them into a true aesthetic ideal. Of course that means he needs to turn them to stone first, but it's all in the name of art.
I still may give him some kind of way out of stun/daze effects, but I've been thinking of adding something like that to all solos anyway. Based on some discussion of the problem of end of your next turn effects lasting longer than save end effects on solos (due to the +5 to saves), I may go with something like this:
Solo Resilience: Immediate Interrupt, Encounter, Recharge when first bloodied.
Trigger: When hit by any condition defined on pg 277 of the PHB except for marked.
Effect: The solo creature can make a save versus that effect, even if it normally would not allow a save.
This will give it two ways out of stun-lock powers per encounter. That seems reasonable. It doesn't mean those powers are automatically going to fail, but does make it harder to totally lock down the solo for the entire fight.
The resilience looks good but keep in mind, since he's level 4, you can add in some hobgoblins to protect him if he's stunned. The +5 to saves is really going to help him recover.
There's also this.
Hobgoblin Fodder Level 3 Minion Medium Natural Humanoid (goblin) XP 37 Initiative +3 Senses Perception +3 HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion. AC 17; Fortitude 15, Reflex 15, Will 15 Speed 6

The hobgoblin fodder can sacrifice itself to protect 1 non minion creature within 5 squares from an effect a save can end.
