As regards his level. Level 36 Solo is very powerful. Basically where I'd personally be putting someone like Thor. I must admit if theres one mythology I am probably not as familiar with as I should its maybe African Mythology. Although I am sure I did a close study of those gods about 5-6 years ago and wrote down what I thought was a likely Pantheon - those pages must be about here somewhere.Though last year I did buy all three 1st Edition AD&D Supplements on ebay of Monsters of Myth and Legend. In my opinion book one is good, book two is poor and book three is fantastic. Book two for me really undersold the gods and thats unfortunately the one where the African Mythology (and Ogun) are located.If I ever get around to the Immortals Index: African Mythos I'll have to include Ogoun.Anyway, I digress, back to the design. As I have mentioned, I'll be including design parameters for creating 4E statblocks at the back of the Vampire Bestiary. For me, I have no major gripes with your Ogun design at all. If I was being hypercritical I'd say watch the power count (13 is fairly high) and maybe try to mix up the action types (standard, move, minor) a tad more. But I did really love the progression of melee - ranged - close blast - area burst. So to be honest I wouldn't change those at all.Goes really well with the Cannibals I have in the Vampire Bestiary too...though they have their own gods of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />As regards the number of powers. I would use 8 as baseline for Solo monsters with maybe an extra one per tier above Heroic. Of course there is no hard rule here, and you could argue should Auras and Double Weapon Attacks really count towards the total - meaning your 13 was spot on. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Actually one minor point I just remembered while glancing over the stats again. You know Ogun could deal simultaneous Fire and Weapon Damage (in 4E) and that to avoid any damage you would then need to be immune to both.Second minor point. At Level 36 he'd probably have +8 weaponry, meaning 8d10 + 55 on a crit. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
