Sounds like a good idea to me. First up is the Chronoraptor, vicious and toothy reptiles enhanced with arcane runes that allow them a rudimentary control of time. These dreaded pack hunters rely on surprise and their speed to burst from the undergrowth and wear their victims down with a series of attacks that slow or disorientate. Chronorators usually operate in small hunting packs of 3 to 5 and have enough intelligence to operate with a range of hunting tactics. They usually set up ambushes, and have also been known to use one of their number to lure targets into a location where the Chronoraptors will have an advantage such as a dead-end wooded gully or ravine. Each Chronoraptor has a number of natural arcane runes visible as a contrasting colour patch of its scaly hide. When they use their temporal abilities these briefly glow then disappear, only reappearing when the magic permeating their bodies recharges, either immediately, within seconds or over the course of a day. Chronoraptor Level 8 Skirmisher Medium Natural Magical Beast XP 350  Initiative +11 Senses Perception +5, lowlight vision HP 84; Bloodied 42; see Vicious Predator AC 22; Fortitude 20, Reflex 21, Will 19 Speed 6, charge 7  Combat Advantage ♦ trait If Chronoraptors Bite attack hits a target granting it combat advantage it deals an additional 1d6 damage and the target is slowed (save ends)  Vicious Predator ♦ trait While Chronoraptor is bloodied it gains +1 bonus to attack rolls and a +3 bonus to damage with its Bite attack  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Bite (Standard; at-will) Attack +13 vs. AC; 2d6+7 damage  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Temporal Rend (Standard; encounter) Target must be slowed or granting combat advantage; attack +11 vs. Will; 2d8+10 damage; on hit target is dazed and takes 5 ongoing damage (save ends both); on miss target takes half damage and is knocked prone  Temporal Acceleration (Minor; recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />) Chronorator moves its speed, if it moves at least 2 squares it gains combat advantage against all enemies until the end of its current turn  Alignment UnalignedSkills Athletics +13, Nature +10, Stealth +14 Str 18 (+8) Dex 20 (+9) Wis 12 (+5) Con 12 (+5) Int 5 (+1) Cha 3 (+0)  ---- My second example is the Earth Mote Triceratops. These mammoth beasts are huge reptiles with large rune inscribed bony plates along their backs, have short tails ending in a series of mace like spikes and three large horns on their wide armoured heads. They are primarily identified by the large lumps of earth or stone that orbit their bodies in eccentric circles at a distance of 5 to 15 feet. These dinosaurs were somehow imbued with the power of the earth in the distant past and have maintained powerful natural telekinetic abilities. The few brief tales of these creatures describe them throwing these rocks with unnatural accuracy and even using them as crude shields to protect them from harm. Earth Mote Triceratops’s are powerful but simple beasts and though they are fearsome if angered they are actually herbivores and only aggressive when defending their territorial feeding grounds and watering holes. Once engaged though their primal instincts kick in and they will never retreat or flee but might break off if the combat takes them too far from their guarded territory. Earth Mote Triceratops Level 14 Elite Brute Huge Natural Magical Beast XP 2,000  Initiative +9 Senses Perception +13, lowlight vision HP 340; Bloodied 170; see Empowered Telekinesis AC 26; Fortitude 28, Reflex 25, Will 25 Saving Throws +2 Speed 5, charge 6 Action Points 1 Earth Motes 3 Solid Footing ♦ trait Triceratops may reduce all push, pull or slide effects it is subject to by 5 squares and if it is subject to an effect that would knock it prone it may make an immediate free saving throw to remain standing  Earth Motes ♦ TraitTriceratops begins an encounter with 3 lumps of earth or stone slowly orbiting itself that it can use in a variety of ways; Triceratops may have a maximum of 4 Earth Motes at any one time  Flying Rocks ♦ Trait, Earth Mote Aura 3; all creatures starting their turns inside the aura take the following effects; if Triceratops has 1 or 2 Earth Motes target takes 5 damage; if Triceratops has 3 or 4 Earth Motes target takes 5 damage and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the start of its next turn  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Gore (Standard; at-will) Reach 2; attack +19 vs. AC; 3d6+12 damage; when charging this attack instead deals 3d10+16 damage; on hit target is pushed 3 squares and takes 10 ongoing damage (save ends)  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/c.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":close:" title="Close    :close:" data-shortname=":close:" /> Tail Thrash (Standard; at-will) Close Blast 3; attack +17 vs. Reflex; 2d10+10 damage  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/c.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":close:" title="Close    :close:" data-shortname=":close:" /> Spikes At Both Ends (Standard; at-will) Triceratops makes a Gore and Tail Thrash attack in any order  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/r.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ranged:" title="Ranged    :ranged:" data-shortname=":ranged:" /> Mote Toss (Standard; at-will) ♦ Earth MoteExpends 1 earth Mote; range 10/20; attack +17 vs. Fortitude; 3d10+16 damage; on hit target is knocked prone; on miss target takes 2d6+12 damage and may shift 1 square as an immediate free action  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/area.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":area:" title="Area    :area:" data-shortname=":area:" /> Mote Explosion (Standard; encounter) ♦ Earth MoteExpends 1 Earth Mote; area burst 2 within 15; attack +17 vs. Reflex; 6d6+12 damage; on hit target is knocked prone and dazed (save ends); on miss target is knocked prone  Raise Earth Mote (Minor; recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />) ♦ Earth MoteTriceratops telekinetically lifts a lump of earth or stone that slowly orbits it and gains an additional Earth Mote  Mote Shield (Immediate Interrupt; recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/4.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":4:" title="Four    :4:" data-shortname=":4:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />) ♦ triggered action, Earth MoteWhen Triceratops is hit by any single target attack it may expend 1 Earth Mote to shield itself as an immediate interrupt; Triceratops takes half damage and is not subject to any effects generated by the attack  Empowered Telekinesis (Free) ♦ triggered actionWhen first bloodied Triceratops's Raise Earth Mote power recharges, Triceratops may use this power as an immediate free action if it wishes  Alignment UnalignedSkills Athletics +19, Endurance +17 Str 24 (+14) Dex 14 (+9) Wis 12 (+8) Con 20 (+12) Int 4 (+4) Cha 3 (+3)  Well there are two examples for you.
