[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 6322920, member: 61501"] I am sure Ruin Explorer is setting you all up for a gotcha! This looks like a classic 4e monster design to me though without a role (he is a very tough lurker). I don't need an explanation for the power it just does what it is suppose to do, except he feels like a rogue, not a phalanx member. I do think the extra damage is too much & I don't see why it works at range but that remains to be played. It like that it encourages the Hobbies to bunch up which with their High AC makes them relatively vulnerable to Mages & resistant to warriors - that sort of tension is nice if it is not always that way round :) I did think it was pretty tedious that almost every monster's little schtick seemed to be bonus damage in some situation or other & I hope that has changed. These guys will murderise ogres if they meet in small numbers of similar XP - 9 vs 2 say. With 900 vs 200 the ogres would have it. [/QUOTE]
