I'll even post a link in this thread to the new one so more people see it.It says the file exceeds the maximum amount it can be for the file type. I'd list a summary, but there's a lot of him... Hmm... I'll leave out the keywords, but imagine that they're there (like cold, necrotic, etc.).[sblock]Reghem, Ice NecromancerHP: 100, Bloodied: 50Init: +0, Perception +5, Low-light visionAC: 15, Fort: 12, Ref: 13, Will: 13Speed 6, Ice WalkResists: cold 5, fire 5, necrotic 5Saving Throws: +5, Action Points: 2Standard ActionsSuppress Soul, At-WillMelee 1 (one target); +4 vs FortitudeHit: 1d8 + 5 necrotic damage, and the target is weakened until the end of its next turn.Drain Soul, At-WillClose burst 5 (2 creatures in the burst); +3 vs FortitudeHit: 1d6+6 necrotic damage, and the target is knocked prone.Miss: Half damage.Icy Blast, At-WillClose blast 3 (all enemies in the blast); +2 vs ReflexHit: 1d6 + 4 cold damage, and the target is knocked prone.Miss: The target is knocked prone.Chilling Souls, Recharge (5, 6)Close burst 2; +2 vs WillHit: 1d10 + 7 necrotic damage, and you slide the target 3 squares.

The center of the room has a 5 X 5 area of ice (difficult terrain, though a skill check might help that) that he can walk across at will (Ice Walk). Just outside the 5 X 5 area at the sides are the four ice mirrors (which he uses with his abilities). At the corners are four ritualistic fires (which can be used to damage those thrown into them). At the very center of the 5 X 5 ice area is a portal (greatly harms anyone who touches it; it will also be the focus of a skill challenge immediately following the combat). There is some rough terrain at the corners of the room, and three ritualistic spikes on three different walls (also good for skewering people, as they are literally made to do that).The mirrors can be broken (AC: 5, HP: 10, Vulnerable 5 fire), which gives the necromancer another action point (to help keep up with the party), but since that's an immediate reaction, if they break more than one mirror in a turn, it'll mean he's missing out on those action points (as far as I know). Once the mirror are broken, he'll have no more minor action attacks, and I expect them to break the mirrors fairly early on (especially with the fire-themed Wizard), since he'll be using them from the start. Also, once he expends his move action attack (encounter power), he'll have no more move action attacks, either. And with the mirrors broken, his other move action will be good for safe moving, but no longer good for regaining HP (which I did cut some).His standard actions are good attacks, I think; from playing it out a few times, it seems like they're felt when they do hit. I expect that the party might have to use a few healing potions in this fight (they'll have acquired 4 by this point, and the Wizard has the Brew Potion ritual), but that's okay with me. His attacks are close enough (for the most part) that he has some incentive not to run too far from the party, which means that they'll likely get hits in on him pretty regularly.Again, it's my first shot at a solo, so it's a learning experience. Input is appreciated, but I'm going to be running game in about four hours, so I might only see stuff posted here over the next three hours.Yep yep, I'll have to play some to get a more informed opinion on all of that. As of level 1, I'm not concerned with too much control power in this group, but they can handle minions pretty well. Single target damage might be a little low, too, but I think they'll get by. I'll know more as I throw stuff at them.I'm not sure that I need to add on extra damage yet, but we'll see. It didn't seem necessary when I was running through my own play through of the combats / skill challenges I have set up.Stuff like this is always interesting (just like it is for soldiers protecting artillery, etc.). I like this idea.I already have this planned out a good amount (see my description of the solo fight, above). But, maybe that's why it seemed to be okay when I played it out; I used the terrain very aggressively on both sides (when it was an option for either side).I will. Thanks everyone for all the valuable advice!</blockquote>
