[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5681072, member: 20323"] [MENTION=81381]catastrophic[/MENTION] I like the way you designed this guy, and totally agree with you about the need for unique mechanics for lurkers and soldiers in particular, actually controllers too. A couple things I would tweak: Get rid of soar points to make it easier on the DM and balance the monster's attack rolls. Soaring Assault - give it +2 attack and defense vs opportunity attacks while airborne and allow it to make airborne charges Stonewing Dive & Stonewing Swoop & Stonewing Shield - make these recharge powers; it can recharge one of these (it chooses which) when it uses Stonewing Soar Stonewing Shield - make this a +4 defense bonus; if the attack still hits this power is not expended; if the attack misses the gargoyle can move it's speed Really these suggestions are just to tighten up already solid design. Bravo! [/QUOTE]
