[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5205885, member: 54846"] The Dream creeper looks good. Hm. The Leucrotta is interesting, to say the least. I was actually intending to use it when the PCs were camping, luring the one standing guard away, but this seems to require more ... effort. Now, the first question: with Lure of the Dark Promise and Split the Herd, the effects end if the target takes damage "While performing the action". Now, do these mean if they are ATTACKED by someone else, or if they are moved into damaging terrain basically? On the one hand, the 3 saves necessary to wake up from the domination is a good touch, but on the other it means folks are going to be mightily dominated. That and the stun makes me wary of using the monster - I do so hate encounters where PCs are denied anything to do. The second concern is that - what's to stop the Leucrotta from just continually using its Move action to change shape, continually healing itself? It would potentially be a fairly grindy combat. Especially since each action makes its recharge powers recharge. Does Lure of the Luecrotta a single or multiple target power? (Man, the illusionist wizard in the party is going to HATE that it's immune to illusion, charm, with a 10 psychic resist. :p) It's a really interesting and well designed monster. I'm just curious how best to use it now. What a good encounter with it would be. Edit: Yikes. The additional disease for the YMC looks even nastier now for my group. Ha. For the record, my group is thus: [sblock]Human Monk (stone fist) Human Wizard (illusion focused) Genasi Swordmage (Assault) Halfling Sorcerer (lightning) *Companion Character Leader (Not always present, different characters on occasion). One thought that occurs is to have the Leucrotta lure the Companion Character from the PCs, and have them all go on a merry chase through the jungle. But I'm not married to that idea just yet. The Luecrotta would make an interesting recurring villain, if one could assure its survival. hitting the PCs while they're camping, get a hurt put on it, and it flee to come back and attack their colony later.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
