[QUOTE="Mesh Hong, post: 4803658, member: 73463"] Yes the Fey Spirit is quite annoying, I can see what you mean about its Psychic Lock power it is very strong against melee. One of my design philosophies is to create monsters that require different approaches to destroy. The Fey Spirit is a creature that has a powerful area of control up to about 5 squares, but is slow moving. Ranged powers will be consistantly more effective than attempts to melee the creature so a group facing them should adapt their tactics accordingly. Also while it has some strong control effects its damage is on the low side which reduces its threat level somewhat. Also Restrained is not [I]really[/I] that much more danagerous than immobilised, it has the added effect of giving the target a -2 to attack, making them grant combat advantage and prevents them from being push,pulled or slid. Having said all that you could change Psychic Lock to a recharge :5::6: power, if you did this I would recommend upgrading the damage to either 2d6+4 or 2d8+4. The problem with the creature then would be that its only at will would be pittifully weak and the creature would not have as much [I]character. [/I](I know, a highly subjective term) I have started work on my next project; "The Book of Distant Stars" which will contain heroic level aberations. Though it could be a while until I have it ready for release. Anyway thanks for the feedback, I will have a bit more of a think about the Fey Spirit and see if I can come up with a better design.
