If the creature power doesn't state a swallowed creature limit then I would just apply a little common sense. Or if you want a rule you could apply consistantly then how about 1 creature per length of base. Large = 2x2 base = 2 creatures Huge = 3x3 base = 3 creatures Gargantuan = 4x4 base =...

I have used Elite Minions in the past:- 1: take 2 hits to kill, the first bloodies them, the second kills them 2: worth the equivalent of 2 minions (what ever system you use to determine how many minions = 1 standard creature) I found that system easy, quick, and it made perfect sense to my...

Read this board? I think you might find I have already contributed to this thread! :p

Yes you are correct that controllers should generally use the low damage expression. But this is an important elite creature, and should be more of a threat. Normally an elite will be able to do at least a double attack which can target the same PC with 2 or more attacks. In this case your...

Another interesting point. Again it is logical presentation. The power could be expressed either way, and each has its merits and flaws. In this case I see the Aspect of Battle hacking away with its sword while spinning round. To me that sounds like multiple attacks with enough control to...

Ok you have stated that this is an important (solo style) confrontation, that the Queen is supposed to be a serious threat, and that she will have many allies. You have alos stated that she will be used against a level 16 party. Here are my initial thoughts on the creature. HPs and Stats...

Yes you are quite right. This is a product of logical presentation, i.e. when bloddied something happens, but as it isn't an attack it really shouldn't be written that way because someone might imply that if it is denied the opportunity of using an imediate reaction (e.g. dazed or stunned) it...

Take another look. For the first 325 HPs it has : - 2 action points to spend - a burst 8 stun power (which can be the equivalent of an extra action) - a recharge burst 2 that should be able to target 3 PCs - an at will that does 2 attacks, reach 2 and reach 3 (and lets the Aspect shift away...

History might also have been a nice fit as well, if the character was of a more scholarly or aristocratic background.

The problem here, as I see it is the DM being a little over zealous in his efficiency of action. (obviously a case of ZOMBIE SMASH Syndrome). Seeing as the DM knows that there is a potential interrupt (encounter) power out there he should not try and do everything at the same time, and show a...

Yeah that might be cool. If this approach was taken I think I would want to design the environment as well to add lots of interest. I would want the Aspect of Tyranny to be able to manipulate the environment to help his allies, and hinder and effect his enemies. DarwinofMind gave us no clues...

Here is an example of what I might do for a mid paragon Aspect of Bane themed solo. I have chosen an Aspect of Battle, and designed it as a relatively straight forward, reasonably dangerous threat. Aspect of Battle Level 16 Solo Soldier Large Immortal Humanoid (bane) XP 7,000 Initiative...

First off I would like to say that I think this isn't a good idea. (gut reaction - like always I am prepared to change my mind) I would also like to voice my objection to the blanket concept that "If you are bleeding, it tends to get worse", I really don't think this is the case. If you are...

Its an interesting idea, but I think it is more than a little dangerous. In my time I have seen some horrendous runs of (bad luck) failing saves, this would potentially turn minor ongoing damage into massive ongoing damage. In my opinion the standard resistances from items and armour are fine...

I agree that this is another example of a logical approach, that is not that difficult to track.

As CapnZapp says this is (yet another) situation where a DM needs to make a decision and stick to it. Personally I run it from the point of view that a single action (or power) is one attack for special triggers and effects. (for my own group Divine Challenge and In Defence of Order are...

Thanks Cap you make an excellent and well justified case for your houserule, (well I say houserule, like always the rules are not sufficiently clear to categorically know whether this is what the designers intended or not). In fact your arguement and reasoning is so compelling that I will...

Sorry I wan't clear enough. I fully understood the "longer" rather than "more dazed" concept I just didn't express it correctly. I can also appreciate that you might not be effected for that much longer because you are making a save against each occurrence every round, so you have a reasonable...

Personally I run it differently, if you are already subject to a status effect further similar effects have no effect. If you are already dazed, you cannot be more dazed. If you are already taking 10 ongoing fire damage and you are subject to another effect for 5 ongoing fire damage then it...

This is an interesting one. Poor old Sir Firebelly, who would have thought that the Rock Lobster League and the Dire Koala Conglomeration would join forces? The Acid Hipsters however have long had a reputation for double dealing and opportunist affilitions. However you look at it Sir Firebelly...
