I need you to be a bit more specific, I know very little about dragonlance.
To all those who sill have requests waiting, i'm busy right now and it may take longer than usual.

Quickleaf, here is a quick draft of your level 14 Evil Prince. This is probably a long way from finished, especially as I seem to remember that he is incredibly vital to your revolutionary campaign.
As he is a BBEG I have made him particularly nasty, possibly too nasty, but as this is a first draft it is probably better to start with a real monster and refine it down to a balanced threat.
Some of the powers might seem a bit vague in the description department, but then I assuming that you will bend them to his own personality.
I have also built him as a leader and assume that he would have at least 2 competent bodyguards with him at all times, and a huge army of goons and minions if on his home turf.
Anyway I also might be a bit rusty after taking 2 weeks off.

Nasty. Thanks Mesh Hong! 
I like pin and mock a lot, and the monologue power does a good job modeling the PCs handling minions while the BBEG spouts off how smart he is.
The aura is awesome and maybe too powerful.
Wait, speed 8 when bloodied, so he gets faster?
Also, since he's a leader, I would include more leader effects to his powers (a la the Human Noble in MM2) where he can move his allies about or compel them to attack.
Thanks for all the work you put into this - it really shows.
Some powers I've been considering for the Prince...
Come to My Aid (minor; encounter; sustain move) ♦ Stance, Zone
Close burst 1; creates a zone that lasts until the Prince leaves the zone. His allies that start their turn in the zone receive +2 attack and damage, and the Prince receives +1 AC for each ally in the zone.
Prince’s Riposte (immediate reaction; encounter; when a creature misses the Prince with a melee attack) ♦ Fear, Psychic, Weapon
+18 vs. Reflex; 3d10+6 damage and target is knocked prone. If the target stands on its next turn, it takes 14 psychic damage. Miss: No damage, but the target is still knocked prone and takes 14 psychic damage if it stands next turn.
Note: This could be an aura instead, so all enemies rising from prone suffer psychic damage?[/b]
For Your Betters (immediate interrupt; encounter)
When affected by a condition which lasts until the end of an enemy's next turn (besides Marked), the Prince may transfer the condition to an adjacent ally.

It's good to see that you're still alive mesh. Thanks for the prince, I've been putting most of my inspiration into my campagain lately and have been doing less work on the thread.
That's the last request that I have enough information to do so kudos until next time.

Yeah, I think they will work quite well. Monologue could backfire slightly as it is probably not going to hit everyone, but it could be interesting as it would force the Princes allies into concentrating on the PCs who are not enraptured by the Princes preaching.
Yes, it is very powerful. Probably too powerful, but it could be bypassed by pushing any allies away from the prince before attacking him. Also the Prince is reasonably mobile so I think there could be quite a few turns where this power wasn't useful.
One of the problems with designing the BBEG is that you have to make sure that it is a suitably epic fight and with him only being an elite he is still vulnerable to concentrated fire. Saying that it depends on the level of the PCs facing him.
This was probably part of a plan to help him escape before being slaughtered, an increased speed might give him a valuable edge. I havn't tied much to the bloodied condition so you could very easily lose this.
Yes that is the usual route with leaders. I just wanted to present a different approach as not all leaders are that inspiring and this guy is a politician. With this build the Aura of Loyalty is very much his leader ability.
Some powers I've been considering for the Prince...
Close burst 1; creates a zone that lasts until the Prince leaves the zone. His allies that start their turn in the zone receive +2 attack and damage, and the Prince receives +1 AC for each ally in the zone.
Yes this would work, I would probably make it burst 2.
One of the problems with designing the Prince was that I didn't know what level the PCs would be in comparisson to the Prince, so I didn't know if handing out bonuses to attack rolls or defences would be balanced. If the Prince is already 3 or 4 levels higher than the PCs and he gets a +2 to +4 to his defences he could be unhittable.
+18 vs. Reflex; 3d10+6 damage and target is knocked prone. If the target stands on its next turn, it takes 14 psychic damage. Miss: No damage, but the target is still knocked prone and takes 14 psychic damage if it stands next turn.
Note: This could be an aura instead, so all enemies rising from prone suffer psychic damage?[/b]
Thats a great ability, I would keep it as a power and not as an aura. Again, not knowing your setting I didn't want to add anything too strange, and I would class Psychic damage as unusual, unless it came from a caster or an item.
Again a good power but what is the power source for this, it seems like a cleric ability or maybe an effect from an item? Why not make it a recharge
or a recharge when first bloodied power for a little extra protection.Anyway I am happy if I have given you a few ideas to play with. Good luck with a suitably exciting end to the Heroic tier of your campaign.

Would it be possible to make two level 11 NPCs based on the templates below?
Elf Controller - A combo between druid and shaman with some minor shape-shifting and spirit-summoning powers.
Half-Elf Skirmisher - a monk-esque fighter with some minor radiant powers (A monk of pelor). By monk I mean a fist-fighter who moves around a lot with some powers similar to an invoker.
Thanks
