Anybody know why?The Goblins of Io RakFor my first adventure, of my first 4e campaign, I'm gonna be using the Pits of Io Rach idea from the old Book of Vile Darkness. And yes, I'm aware that I spelled "Io Rach" wrong. I meant to.Anyway, the basic idea is a series of pits full of vile alchemical substances that wreak disgusting physical changes on those who are immersed in them. I'm using a series of pits in an abandoned dwarven mine, and trying to get a bit more creative with the effects of the alchemical baths than "get bigger and get stronger".I figured I'd put my monsters up here, just to see how everybody likes 'em.The Pit Goblins are meant to be even weaker than most minions, and represent the failed attempts at created bad-ass alchemical monsters. The Hyde Goblins are the classic "juiced up bruiser" types, made bigger and stronger by the alchemical processes. The Puker Goblin... I'm a little worried it might be too powerful. It's meant to be a sort of "hack up some disgusting gunk and hurl it at you", but I can't tell if it's too strong as a level 2. Should I make it an Elite, or maybe increase the level a bit?[sblock=The Pit Goblin]PIT GOBLINType and Exp; Small Humanoid Minion 1 (Alchemical)(25 xp)Initiative; +0    Senses; Perception -1; Low Light VisionHP; 1 (A missed attack never damages a minion)AC; 12Fort; 12Ref; 10Will; 9Resist; Acid 1, Poison 1, Disease 1Vulnerable; Fire 5Speed; 4 squaresAlignment; UnalignedLanguages; Understands Common and GoblinSkills; Endurance (+7)Str; 12 (+1)Con; 15 (+2)Dex; 10 (+0)Int; 1 (-5)Wis; 8 (-1)Cha; 1 (-5)Attack; Putrid Slam; +1 vs. ACType; Standard, At-Will, MeleeHit; 1d6+1 damage and  1 Acid, 1 Disease damage and 1 Poison damageAttack; Putrid Eruption; Auto-HitType; Immediate Reaction, Encounter, Close Burst 1Trigger; When reduced to 0 HPHit; All creatures in the burst take 1 Acid, 1 Disease and 1 Poison damage, and the Pit Goblin is immediately and completely destroyed[/sblock][sblock=The Hyde Goblin]Hyde GoblinType and Exp; Medium Humanoid Brute 1 (Alchemical)(100 xp)Initiative; +1Senses; Perception +0, Low Light VisionHP; 37Bloodied; 18AC; 13Fort; 15Ref; 11Will; 10Speed; 6 squaresAlignment; UnalignedLanguages; Understands Common and GoblinSkills; Endurance (+8)Str; 15 (+2)Con; 17 (+3)Dex; 12 (+1)Int; 3 (-4)Wis; 10 (+0)Cha; 1 (-5)Attack; Ripping Claws; +5 vs. ACType; Standard, At-Will, MeleeHit; 2d6+2 damageAttack; Rending Claws; +5 vs. ReflexType; Standard, At-Will, MeleeHit; 1d6+2 damage and target is GrabbedAttack; Shift Grip; +5 vs. ReflexType; Immediate Interupt, At-WillTrigger; When Grabbed target escapes GrabHit; Target is Grabbed again, and does not escapeAttack; Rip and Tear; +5 vs. FortitudeType; Standard, Encounter, MeleeHit; 4d6+2 damage, can only be used agaisnt a Grabbed targetMiss; Half damage, and the target escapes the Grab[/sblock][sblock=The Puker Goblin]Puker GoblinType and Exp; Small Humanoid Artillery 2 (Alchemical)(125 xp)Initiative; +3Senses; Perception +2, Low Light VisionHP; 35Bloodied; 16AC; 15Fort; 16Ref; 13Will; 12Resist; Acid 5, Disease 5, Poison 5Vulnerable; Fire 10Saves; +5 vs. Acid, Disease or PoisonSpeed; 4 squaresAura; Alchemical Stench (Aura 5)All non-Alchemical creatures within the aura take a -1 penalty to all attacks, damage, defenses and saves.
