[QUOTE="Pour, post: 5840467, member: 59411"] This bugbear looks mean (does he have that bit of blue in the face like the old school bugbears, by chance?). Regarding the condition heaping and singular targeting, I have one or two ideas. Firstly, the terrain could perhaps be used... vexingly. Maybe give him some sort of immediate interrupt, utilizing some part of the encounter area (heavy drapes, marble pillars, stalactites, whatever) to absorb a hit for him. So those drapes take the ongoing fire damage, or, even more fun, extend that notion of Vexing Target and transfer those lingering conditions onto adjacent enemies who deliver the OA or who he hits with the attack. If he's a solo roguish type taking on a party, he's wheeling and darting and counter-attacking in their midst. Alternatively, and I've done this with solos with frankly little regard for added damage output with nothing but fun, if scary, results, give him more than one turn per round- say two, even three.
