[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5690275, member: 4937"] Mine as well, at least in 4e. Let me first say that I'm very impressed. Don't take these comments as tinged with anything but respect. As long as you are playing with Ebon Ray's flavor, I suggest adding to its critical that the target loses a healing surge. In line with your other needed damage boosts (now that I've actually taken the time to do some math in my head), I suggest boosting blast of utter cold's base damage to 10d6 (5d6 on miss) and boosting the base damage from howling purple chaos to 10d8. If more is needed (and doing some math, I think it is), try bumping base damage of God Killing Sword to 4d8+28 and base damage of Ebon Ray to 3d8+30 fire. This should give him the ability to do enough damage that he's actually threatening. However, my only real complaint is the oversight of not giving a duration to Three Forms of Evil. It's absolutely critical that Three Forms of Evil ends on its own after a short number of rounds (I choose three). Not only will this end ongoing conditions, but big T needs to return to his primary black Avatar quickly because Three Forms of Evil is T's only recovery power. The intention is for him to be able to activate it at least twice during the encounter, because healing 333 damage should buy him nearly a turn of life and push the party closer to the point where they'll begin to run out of encounter resources. Without the heals, T 'just' has 1998 hit points and probably is going down in like 6 rounds or so. If Three Forms of Evil does not end on its own, then it will be too easy to whittle down Thardizun's life while he's in what is in some ways a weaker form and more quickly end the fight. Also, while you got the implicit hit points mechanic and the fact that by switching , the quick toggle between either of two forms was intended to thwart ongoing conditions as well as recharge Thardizun's powers in either combat mode. Would love to see what you do with the outline of the 3 other avatars I provided. [/QUOTE]
