[QUOTE="StarFyre, post: 3839109, member: 26055"] [b]i disagree[/b] teh balor was meaent from initial concept to be a brute in combat AND a magical force to be reconned with. I know if they don't make it so, I'll have to modify it greatly to fit my vision of it, but you'd kinda expect such a creature, like someone above said, to be able to take on anything almost, taht comes it's way. SAying it's only a melee brute won't really fit the concept of such a greater being. And to the comment of hell, it would be a peasent or something; yeah...in the abyss, the Klurichir would then be the leader and melee/magical might while it can summon 2 balors to help it fight if needed as it's servants. And as they stated multiple weapons gives multiple attacks, it will probably have 2 to 4 attacks/round I imagine based on what it is doing. A 20th level boss with no magic ability and 1 attack just doesn't cut it, and i can't imagine it would, regardless of how they expect the scope of 4E...unless they are really going down the 'basic foe video game style' path where bosses sit there and get hit until they die. (yes, even in WoW they essentially do that, with a few scripted sequences that cause players to scamper for a sec to redo their plans) Sanjay [/QUOTE]
