[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8921869, member: 57383"] Fomorians are faster than base humanoids in 4E (speed 8 vs speed 6), which suggests [B]Speed[/B] 40 ft. The [B]Skills[/B] should be Perception +7, Stealth +4 with its DEX, WIS and Proficiency. The wording of [I][B]Spirits of Possession[/B][/I] is needlessly messy. Why not just have it say failure caused the target to be charmed, and then say what influence the fomorian has over its charmed victim? It might be easier cribbing some of the text from the 5E [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/dominate-monster']dominate monster[/URL][/I] spell. Also, the original Ghost Shaman could only spirit-possess a creature that had ongoing necrotic damage (which effectively meant creatures it had just whammied with its [I][B]Evil Eye[/B][/I] attack) and the Spirits could affect anyone within 15 feet of the shaman (as it was a 3 square Close Burst). That's quite different from your single target within 60 feet version. The damage of [I][B]Darksoul Mist[/B][/I] seems a bit high. The original didn't do much more than a Death's Touch. Oh, and did you not like the [I]slow[/I] condition the 4E version's eye and mist inflicted? There's no sign of that. [/QUOTE]
