[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 5227575, member: 704"] Thanks for the feedback. Necrotic might be a better fit for the damage, though I was specifically trying to set this up as a servent of a God of disease, death, etc. The monster builder software had both in the same drop list, so it seemed to fit. Divine damage was added largely to set it apart from Devils, Demons, or Undead. 4e Cosomology does make an effort to support the notions of angels that serve evil gods. I wanted an attack that would fit that origin, but using Radiant damage seemed a poor fit, and again, it was in the drop down list. I will probably move the -2 penalty out of the sickening Aura and the angelic presence, maybe adding a -2 penalty to saves instead. I will consider relabeling some of the damage types away from Divine if I cannot find any other exmples of Divine as a damage type. However, upon re-reading, I think that Word Of Corruption should either have a different name or a different damage type. I like the suggested correction for the Hemoragic Contagion. I like the idea of a damage type causing it to recharge a power, though I may do that with Divine. I might replace the immunity with a resistance to Necrotic. I am hesitant to increase the damage on Withering blast considering that the weakening keyword is quite harsh. I might move it to 1d8 though. The design goal of this monster is as follows: - Create a monster that everyone wants to stay the hell away from. The Hemoraggic contagion and Sickening Aura adding a -2 penalty to Fort (and the creature having many Fort based attacks) and saves (given the ongoing damage from its attacks) should do it. - Have some powers that suggest an angelic being and not just a demon or devil based creature. This is the part that I am finding tricky. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
