Can anyone PLEASE help me make a monster?

[wildoxmoan]

I'm running my campaign this Friday and am in need of some help creating a monster. It's based on the Unrisen monster (pg 186 Open Grave) but instead of one of their examples this Unrisen would be based on a 4th level halfling rogue. Can anyone walk me through the steps from the DMG pg 184 and advise on what this type of Unrisen would look like statistically?
Thanks!!

Not at my books but look at the back of the MM and find the appropriate type (brute, solderi etc) 4th level creature. That will give you the basic stats (HP, stats, defenses). Now copy the powers of the unrisen over to it as you need. Then adjust the damage of the powers to match typical 4th level creatures.

Take a look at the Halfling section of the MM. The levels I believe are 1st level Artillery, 2nd level Minion, 2nd level Skirmisher, and 6th level Lurker.

See if one of those suits your needs, is similar enough.

Then, just adjust them based on level (as the above poster points out by looking at 4th level monsters), and add the Unrisen powers.

From what I can tell the creature wouldn't actually change that much, unless you were making it a special encounter or an elite.

So I have pretty much just made it undead and changed its sneak attack to make it more powerful. Really I think most of the work in this one is just describing it as a filthy corrupted halfling that is a merciless killer...or what ever you have in mind.

That is awesome Mesh Hong very close to what I came up with except I used Death's Breath on my version though I like the Filthy Blade power!
