[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9232415, member: 984"] With regards to monster/opponent design, one of my fav moments in 4e was during one of our very first sessions. The gang leader the party was after wore spiked armour and fought with a spiked chain. As a minor action (on a recharge), when they hit could wrap that chain around a party member and slam them into their spiked armour for 1dX extra damage. The players [I]loved [/I]it. And I loved it because it was effects based and just happened without any need roll to grapple, roll to resist, roll to hit with the spikes, and then what happens next turn, is the player still grappled, and so on. In addition, it was super flavourful and made the big bad feel that much more menacing and memorable. It was great how many monsters/opponents were (or could be) designed that way, giving abilities that in play made you feel what they were on those multiple levels. [/QUOTE]
