Otherwise this is a standard middle of the road attack. Nothing wrong here, again its all pretty standard.  Interesting, though I think it is probably the wrong way round. In my opinion creatures should get more dangerous the closer they get to death, not less. The more dangerous a foe the greater the element of excitement and danger, this should increase over the course of an encounter, not diminish. If this power was the other way round then it would show Victor getting more determined and desperate, no longer playing with his targets but showing them his true potential as respected enemies.  This doesn't need the range 4 Inquisitive's Eye (minor, recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />); marked target onlyMarked target only; range sight; does not provoke opportunity attacks; Victor deals an additional 1d6 damage against target until the end of his current turn.  This is OK, a reasonable useful ability but nothing really special.  This should probably be a minor action, once a round Expert Strike (minor, at will); 1/roundWhen Victor next makes a Sword Cane attack this round he may roll to hit twice and keep the better result. My biggest concern with this BBEG is that it seems like a missed opportunity. He needs more powers, and needs some big signature moves that really show off his personality. If he was a skirmisher you could have him moving about a lot more and using powers that tried to make his opponents look like ill trained fools. As it stands he pretty much just stands there and uses Sword Cane. As always this is just my opinion.</blockquote>
