Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 6202166" data-attributes="member: 1165">Since you're using saving throw bonuses, this should have a save DC listed. Also, what action is it? Is it supernatural or spell-like? (It should be supernatural, because otherwise it's provoking AoOs. Or is it?)That is a lot of languages. Why so many? I don't see why it has or needs Giant, Goblin and Orc.D&D? Sure. Balanced? Probably not. This is a 9 Hit Dice monster. I'm not sure what it's XP value/Challenge Rating/Slaughter Margin is, but it's not supposed to be a challenge for 20th-level PCs, I assume. So why cast as a 20th-level monster?I would drop the Power Words entirely. I don't know what it plans to do with the Symbol spells, those are basically lair traps, but it's the kind of thing that could be useful some of the time.This is a "melee monster" so does it really need Fireball? (Wall of Ice makes sense; it could trap PCs and then smash them into said wall. Repeatedly. Also a great way to stop archers.) The other spells (seeing invisible, dispel for debuffing) make sense.Attacking spells should have save DCs listed (which I assume you're making relevant since it has saving throw values much like 3e).It's pretty similar to a 2e death knight. It's missing an XP value/Challenge Rating/Slaughter Margin though. (Those XP values in 2e and earlier were much like CR, it's just that they weren't very transparent.) A death knight is a powerful challenge and so should be worth a lot of XP.Also, there's no organization rating. I'm assuming you're just using what's already written though. Do death knights normally come with a mount? Maybe give him a nightmare, if it's stats put it at the same "level" as the death knight.</blockquote>
