I thought I'd post the final solo battle of the campaign I've been running since 4e started. Let me know what you think, does the creature look too strong?  You see a little background, the campaign has been mostly story based, the party is set up to fight solo's and can easily take down a powerful solo of 4 lvs higher in a few rounds. In the past I ddin't worry about some combats being too easy since it was the story we were focused on the most, but I want the final battle to be an epic battle and a challenge, but not a TPK. Some of the past solos they've fought that I tried to make a challenge just weren't. Mostly they save up their dailies to kill solos and rarely use them in battles w/o solos. In this case, there will be multiple solo battles and hopefully they will use many of their solo killing powers before getting here, in fact they may not even realize that another solo fight isn't the end battle, and use many of their powers there. Anyway, here it is, a primordial being of pure madness and destruction, let me know what you think. Hopefully the formatting from the character builder isn't too hard to read. Zurath, Madness Incarnate Level 37 Solo ControllerGargantuan immortal magical beast  XP 315,000HP 1841; Bloodied 921Regeneration 30 (while not bloodied)AC 52; Fortitude 51; Reflex 50; Will 50Speed 10 fly (hover), teleport 10Immune fear, dazed condition, stunned conditionSaving Throws +5 whenever an attack applies an effect to Zurath that a save can end, it immediately rolls a saving throw.
