[QUOTE="Dr_Sage, post: 4881057, member: 36185"] To Claudio: the power list would be extensive, but they don't have much in the forced movemment department. As you can see they dont have a fighter or warlord, and the wizard's phantom bolt can't effectivelly used in this situation (LOS problem). **************** I am happy to see that I am not the only one who sees issues with such creature, not becuse it's unbeatable - no. But becuse the fight can be extra-boring for 1/3 of most parties. Many sollutions proposed or powers mentioned so far (like crown of glory) are simple not for the 4th level party. I fully agree that the Young Blue Dragon is even worse. Again not becuse it's unbeatable, but becuse either winning or loosing, the game session would last forever (even running the dragon can chase...). I love the whole concept of solo monster, and I think some parties may be defeated from time to time, but I just felt like this creature is 10x harder tham the Young White Dragon for example (his defenses technically goes up 25+ versus 18+ of the white dragon). ************************************** To FireLance: I agree with most of your points, you seem to have grasped my problem.
