[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5662202, member: 6679380"] I am glad it worked out but I am shocked I thought it was a Level 10 Solo against a group of Level 10 players but this was again Level 7 players?? WTH? I can not see how they survived at all... Considering this guy was allowed to attack 4 times per turn and was doing Ongoing Poison each time... I built a PC quickly to see how he would take vs your guy. CB Stats [sblock]====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Thoradin, level 7 Dwarf, Fighter Build: Great Weapon Fighter Fighter: Combat Agility Fighter Talents: Two-handed Weapon Talent Background: Dwarf - Outcast FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 21, Con 17, Dex 10, Int 10, Wis 11, Cha 8.

So firstly your guy takes his first turn. He uses his Encounter Power : 3d10 + 7 and 20 ongoing poison Gets a 19 + 15 and hits Thats 23 damage taking my Fighter down to 50hp Next he uses his Slice & Dice and uses one of his Gouge attacks against my Fighter Rolls a 9 + 15 = 24 and hits That is 2d4 + 1 (6 damage) and my guy is down to 44hp Next he uses his normal gouge attack Rolls a 13 + 15 = 28 and hits That is 2d4 + 1 (6 damage again) and my guy is down to 38hp Next he uses he takes his first Action Point to shift 4 squares away using his Tumble and now he uses his Minor Bullseye attack Rolls a 15 + 15 = 30 and hits 2d4 + 1 (and slowed) (7 damage) and my guy is down to 31hp Next he takes his 2nd turn Here he uses his Minor first Rolls a 6 + 15 = 21 and misses He gets miffed that he missed and uses his 2nd action point Rolls a 14 + 15 = 29 and hits 2d4 + 1 (and slowed) (6 damage) and my guy is down to 25hp Next he uses his slice and dice as he moves closer again Rolls a 15 + 15 = 30 and hits That is 2d4 + 1 (5 damage) and my guy is down to 20hp Then he uses his Gouge attack again That is 2d4 + 1 (3 damage again) and my guy is down to 17hp ... oh and unless he gets someone to grant him a Save or throw some healing surges at him, he is going to be dying next turn. I also tried to have my guy hit yours... First round he uses his Daily : Brute Strike Rolls a 8 + 15 = 23 and misses He uses his Action Point and tries it again Rolls a 12 + 15 = 27 and hits, doing 34 damage (barely 5% of his HP and that was with a Daily and an Action Point) .. I did this just for fun but I was just quite surprised that you would pit a 10th lvl solo against a 7th lvl party. Of course I had him unleash everything at one player to begin with and he would appear much weaker after that but to that one player, without a save or a heal - he is dying! ;) That being said, I am glad your encounter worked out well - I would be fearful if you were my DM for the threat of a TPK each session!! but no doubt would have been lots of fun.
