Alternatively, if you feel the wraith is a disputable ally the level 3 Jackalwere Bravo gets 20+2d4 (22-28) points of damage on a Coup de Grace. That still one shots nearly every level 3/4 PC in 4E of course, it's just not as spectacular as the wraith is.This is probably the most extreme example in 4E of abusing monsters that I can think of (and really relies on the flawed Coup de Grace rule). Of course any DM who ever does this either hasn't thought about their encounter design at all or is just a dick.</blockquote>
