This is probably a little over the top but might give you some ideas. I made him a leader controller as you indicated, but it is hard to know what control and leader powers to give him without knowing the encounter he is being designed for. Igor Level 11 Elite Controller (Leader) Medium...

Yeah, I think I must be the only person who thinks that solo's should have more, not less HP's. Personally I want a fight with a solo to last maybe 6 to 10 rounds in order to be a meaningful encounter. A solo with 738 HPs would last 3 maybe 4 rounds which in me and my groups opinion is too...

Good point! I completely missed that.

Its a nice looking creature, and a pretty serious threat. HPs and Defences From my own personal experience and philosophy I would: a: Change its AC back to 32 (from 30). A group of PCs have plenty of powers to reduce a solo's AC or buff their own attack values so the standard AC of 32 should...

Always nice to see someone new having a go at creating their own threats, welcome aboard. Tunnel Warden 1: Defences It’s a nice standard creature, I would probably rate the defences as: AC 21; Fortitude 18; Reflex 16; Will 16 I think that a Reflex and Will defence of 13 is probably too...

Cool, it sounds like the fight went well and was reasonably threatening. Now that my group is into Epic level my opinions on solo design have changed. At Epic levels the PCs have so much going for them, they can take a real pounding while putting out massive damage themselves, they also have...

I like it. Its a hard hitting, very lightly armoured striker, designed to strike fast and hard hoping to deal enough damage before it gets pummelled itself. I also see these as creatures that have an additional ability when bloodied, or have attacks that deal more damage against a bloodied...

Gah, I don't know why but I some how read Friend Hurt? HULK MAD! as an attack against all enemies within 10 squares!!! :blush:

I am trying to figure out if this creature is completely serious, half serious or completery tongue in cheek. :p Friend Hurt? HULK MAD! is exceptional as an at will. Combined with very mad and very very mad this could get very messy very quickly. Roar of Rage I really like. Calm Weakling...

What I find myself thinking is why wouldn't you want the PCs to get wrapped up in the curse? Each of them slipping further and further away from reality and closer and closer to the mad realms of "The Doom". To me it would be the defining environmental hazard and a roleplaying tool that could...

I like it, but it looks pretty powerful for a level 6 solo. Especially as it would seem that it is designed to be encountered with other oozes. Elder Eye and Threnody of Madness should maybe be recharge powers. Engulf seems very powerful as a minor action. This thing in theory could quite...

If the DMs word is law then I support an orchestrated peoples uprising possibly resulting in regime change. The DM should only be enforcing laws that the majority of the group agree with (really all the group). Of course during a session a DMs judgement call should be followed for the sake of...

No, not at all, its all useful and all part of the learning process. Discussions like these are probably very useful to other monster builders as well as being invaluable to myself. Your time is very much appreciated. I just mean that before you use any creature you have to consider it in the...

Thank you, I created this some time ago and the art of monster making is a continual learning process so there may be some inconsistencies in it. There are probably some things I would do differently now, but I welcome any feedback and will enjoy answering any questions or concerns. Like all...

A dominated PC could be just like a dazed PC except you can force them to do dramatically appropriate things as necessary. Not really a problem. Is there a trap in the shadowy corridor ahead? Time for the dominated PC to get a sudden urge to wander in that direction and activate it. - Oh no...

I was wondering the same thing, if you design something you had better be ready for the consequences though! (no matter how unlikely)

It should be OK then. Just out of interest is this section of the adventure long enough for the full curse progression to be an issue? (4 days).

I would add another state between initial and cured. I would have a look at the (level 8) Remove Affliction ritual and realise that it renders all even level diseases and curses trivial. I would increase the DCs of the arcana checks, possibly to 26/21/20. In my experience diseases and...

You know I never thought about being able to use variable resistance (free action) when a creature was hit by an elemental attack. Now that it has been pointed out it actually makes perfect sense, both from a game mechanic and usefulness point of view. Excellent, my poor demons need all the...

As there aren’t a lot of monster threads about at the moment I will share an encounter from a recent game. This unfortunately is another tragic case of first session of new tier, in this case Epic. The encounter served its purpose but the Solo was royally beaten by my efficient and determined...
