The thing is I haven't actually made any stats for this creature yet and for some reason I'm having writers block.  The idea behind the creature is from the Mark of Prophesy adventure from the back of the Eberron campeign guide. There was an NPC in that adventure known as Alric Blacktree that was chained to this mark on the floor that forced visions on him. He goes insane and tries to kill the PC's and destroy Sharn. In my game the PC's didn't get to the bomb in time and a huge tower went down. When they found Alric (who now has an abberant dragonmark) they made sure he couldn't get away and killed him. When he died his mark disapeared. Then just to mess with them when they took a sky coach back to their base of operation the pilot of the coach changed into Alric and barrell rolled the coach and dumped them into a ravine.  The session ended there. After the fact I thought up a reason why Alric changed bodies. His dragonmark allows him to change bodies, so in otherwords Alric is his dragonmark and he just grabs hosts to control. The idea I have for the encounter involving Alric is going to be a fun hostage situation. Alric and his cult has taken hostages and dressed them just like the cult members. The cult all wear masks and the hostages are all gagged. The cult members are going to make attacks on the PC's then try to hide within the hostages. Alric will be jumping from body to body to prevent the PC's from finding him. No matter what body he is in Alric will have the same powers to pick from. This whole fight is a delay tactic so other cultests can finish a summoning ritual for some monster that Alric will take over. So some of the things I'm trying to come up with is  1. What kind of monster to make Alric 2. How to work his transfer from host to host 3. How to give the PC's a window to strike at Alric and not his host Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Oh and I forgot to mention the party will be level 6 when this happens.</blockquote>
