Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 5226069" data-attributes="member: 73463">Here are my initial thoughts when looking at your creatures. I will take it for granted that you are reducing the HPs to about 80% and adding half their level to damage, so instead of a +16 it should be +10 (inferred from another one of your posts).  I like it. As already pointed out the Tail Sting needs to be 1/round but otherwise it is a solid soldier.   I think the Scimitar attack should be +16 vs AC (not +18), it is usal for artillery creatures to have a 2 lower melee attack, as they are specialised in ranged attacks. The Tail Sting again should be 1/round. Double Attack is pretty powerful, I would consider making it "1 or 2 targets", or in other words not able to target the same enemy with both attacks. If you did this you could drop the "within 3 squares of each other requirement". I might actually consider making the standard Greatbow attack a 3d6+10 damage attack and keeping the Double Attack as a 2 targets 2d6+10 attack.  Tail Sting, as before should be 1/round. Tactical Sweep seems a little cruel to me, an attack that triggers off any mark (not just his own) could get quite confusing. This is not something I would personally do, but that doesn't mean it is wrong! Nights Command has a choice of actions that are by no means equal.-All creatures inside burst 10 making a free attack could get very messy, I think it should probably be up to three creatures inside burst.-All creatures shifting 2 squares is alright. I think I would normally grant an immediate free move action (so they could either shift 1 or move their speed), shift 2 is ok and on balance is probably worth teh same as a move action (pros and cons).-spend a healing surge and regain 15 HPs. I would avoid any reference to healing surges, either regain HPs or grant Temporary HPs. In this case granting all allies in teh burst 15 Temporary HPs might be a good way to go. What the Captain is really missing is a double attack, which is amusing as the standard artillery has one and the elite leader doesn't <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> As an elite he should have an at will multi attack, in this case the easiest is a Double Halbard. But you could instead have an attack that also granted an ally a free attack against the same target. Anyway, I hope these comments help.</blockquote>
