If you're making the monster essentially invincible unless they start destroying power sources, then you'd better make it 150% clear that's the case. IMO you'd be better off changing it to a flat resist X damage (where x is something like 2 or 3 per energy source). I say this because no damage from at-wills gimps strikers and essentials fighters/thieves. Plus it means you don't have to roll a kajillion saves and IMO gives the players a clearer sense of progress as they take out power sources.In principle I like what you're going for, but at the table monster healing is generally a drag. My philosophy is the only reason a monster heals is so they have more time to show off their cool powers. Especially with a solo, why not just give it more opportunities to use its powers and/or extra powers?Plus your condition "any time he is hurt on his turn" is rather odd. Do you mean only on opportunity attacks/immediate attacks? Then later you say as a minor action...I would do something like 1/round (minor action) it can sacrifice a power source - it erupts in energy making a close burst 2 attack vs enemies, and recharges a power or let's him take a basic attack out of turn as a free action.Hmm, if it's auto-damage you're going for I suggest an aura of reasonable size (5 maybe) that triggers if an enemy enters or ends it's turn there. Somewhere in the order of 2 damage per power source seems right. Actually this could be a direct trade-off with its resistance (your #1).Btw what is the flavor of the monster?</blockquote>
