[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5775866, member: 20323"] 3 turns sounds good to me. Tell me more about this puzzle? Death as a consequence for failing a puzzle is pretty steep unless your players are into puzzles. Well since Sphere of Ultimate Destruction is an encounter power upping damage by 25% makes sense. So if you're using the base damage is 8 + monster damage.... so 55 average damage would be good. A minor action at-will useable twice per round (because Nihilious gets 2 turns) which removes zones and buffs is too much. From a flavor/story standpoint, Rewind Time doesn't really feel demonic to me, maybe coming up with a bit of description and an evocative name for these powers will help suggest ideas. For example, what if you went with a theme of "regrets", so that when a PC struck by Timeless Bolt is sent back in time to a moment where they have doubts about the decision they made? Just one idea. I think part of your difficulty is a disconnect between story concept and mechanics of Nihilious. I would really encourage you to write up some flavor text for each of your proposed powers. At the least it would help us help you. :) Yes, that works great. [/QUOTE]
