I have answered this request in my Monster Request/Discussion thread. Thanks

In another thread I was asked what a Solo version of my Succubus Seneschal might look like. Here is the answer to that question. Note: MM3 guidelines with MM1 HPs Succubus Queen Level 26 Solo Controller Medium Immortal Humanoid (devil, shapechanger) XP 45,000 Initiative +22 Senses...

Encounter 8 The gargantuan (5x6 squares) white dragon with its surprise rider swooshed over the edge of the castle and landed with heavy thud coating the ground around it with a heavy cracking frost. From within the swirling sleet storm that surrounded it the two exposed PCs could see its...

Good stuff here, I agree that solos should always be tailored with the group in mind as far as reasonable threat goes. A solo of course is also a good opportunity to include a power or two that messes with whatever the PCs usual combat winning tactic is, if this can be done in a reasonable way...

Just out of interest what is the party composition and level? I am guessing that their arn't any other defenders or the DMs head would explode! :lol:

Well if your DM is as stubbon and short sighted as that the only option left to the players is "adapt and exploit". To be honest if you are getting regular needless opportunity attacks anyway you are already reaping undue benefits from the situation so there is no other advice that can be given.

I can understand your frustration and as a DM I try to allow all my groups powers to work in the way they would like some of the time (but a creature will rarely kill itself by activating divine challenge). For me a creature witnessing an impressive power by another PC or suddenly taking a lot...

I'm not sure I am actually following the complaint here. Are you complaining about a marked creature attacking the person who marked it? If you are I am confused, marking something is goading it into attacking you rather than anyone else. Surely if that creature then attacks you your mark is...

As requested here are the stat blocks for the other monsters I used in this adventure. Please note they are pre MM3. Black & Red Iron Gorgon Level 28 Elite Brute Large Elemental Beast XP 26,000 Initiative +21 Senses Perception +18, truesight 6 HP 600; Bloodied 300 AC 40; Fortitude 42...

The following is the first section of end of my campaign. This section takes the PCs from level 29 to level 30, for the record they did this without taking an extended rest. With the massive battle between the forces of the middle world and the shadowfell nearing its conclusion (see separate...

I am a little concerned with Duel Strike as it is written, as it is a basic melee attack he will be using it as an opportunity attack. The attack as written is standard expression damage and attacks 2 targets with a shift in between. I can see this causing a few problems when he does it during...

I too am with your DM on this one. Orcus's Touch of Death hit result is an effect not damage, so you would need an ability that negates a necrotic effect (or in other words grants immunity to necrotic). The miss result from the attack is a damage effect though so the Indomitable Resolve would...

Well Derulbaskul has pretty much covered everything and given an excellent example of how to transform a PC to a monster. For what its worth here is my general advice on the subject. 1. PCs and monsters use different creation systems. 2. PC and Monster powers are different. The above two...

Just last session the "life stealer/demi god" warlock in my group announced that he had just got an achievement for collecting his 500th life spark. :D

This is a good one as I am partial to aberrations, and “feeding on magic” gives me the excuse for some interesting powers. I notice you have a large group so I have devised an initial selection of 3 types of similar creatures in order for you to build an appropriate encounter or encounters...

Kalphan Riak I like him, and I can’t fault your stated design decisions. Status Defence I am slightly concerned he has no form of status effect defence or resistance. But I will give my ideas for that in my response to other powers. I assume that stun lock is not a problem with your group as...

OK I'll post them here when I get the chance. I have posted some of the creatures I have used recently in my other Monster Requests/Discussion thread.

I can see the benefits in using the same type of dice for all a creatures attacks. But on the otherhand I don't really think it is that confusing or time consuming picking up the right dice during combat. It is something I will give some thought to and bear it in mind when designing "easy to...

I think that was my group. Any creature that is going to be used as an end boss for a campaign (or story for that matter) needs designing specifically for the power level of the group. MM1 Orcus all MM3'ed up would be a more serious threat, but you would still need to look at some sort of...

Yes tactically she would definately benefit from a decent ranged attack option. But in this instance I didn't want to give her an excuse for not getting into the middle of the fight. I thought it would be a lot more amusing for her to grope and kiss her way through combat rather than stand...
