[QUOTE="Colmarr, post: 4061868, member: 59182"] Lots of stuff to mull over in this preview... I'm a bit concerned by the recharge mechanic for the Balhannoth's Tentacle Flail ability. Does "if only 1 enemy is within reach" include if 0 enemies are within reach? It seems to be sloppy wording. As for the Immolith, I can't help but notice that a level 15 fire creature (which appears to be made partially from a pillar of flame) only has Fire Resist 15. That certainly seems to confirm the hints that resistances are going to be lower in 4e than they are in 3e. And did anyone else notice that it is Speed 8 AND Reach 4. Now that is going to be a nightmare. When I look at both side-by-side though, the thing that jumps out at me is their hp. The level 13 Balhannoth (which is presumably a Skirmisher) has 50 hp. The level 15 Immolith (which seems to be a Controller) has 90 hp. I would have expected the totals to be closer together, if not for the Skirmisher to actually have more hp... Edit: Looking at the WotC preview rather than the OP text, it is clear that the Balhannoth is a "Lurker" rather than a "Skirmisher". Yeah, I noticed that as well. Presumably, demons (and by association devils and angels) now have souls/spirits distinct from their corporeal form... [/QUOTE]
