[QUOTE="VBMEW-01, post: 4131530, member: 61872"] [b]Dwarf Regnant[/b] Me and a friend of mine were tinkering with this idea, and came up with a huge list of possible concepts for a martial controller. Now I don't know about actually making a class, but I think some of this stuff would make for a fine monster. Anyway, as you seem to have the monster making mechanics pretty much down, I thought you might want to tinker with a few of our better ideas and maybe make a monster out of them. :cool: [U][B]DWARF REGNANT[/B][/U] [list=1] [*]This fellow would be a [B]dwarf[/B], and he would use a [B]spiked chain[/B] [*]He would have the [B]threatening reach[/B] ability [*]He would have a [B]basic attack[/B] with the chain [*]He would have an at-will ability (using the chain) that allows him to grab an opponent, with the possibility of either pulling it prone or [B]bowling[/B] it into another nearby (say within 2 squares) to do minor damage and either knock that creature down or at least slide it 1 square (on a miss?) [*]He would have an immediate action that allows him to attack an enemy creature that just scored a hit or maybe a shift response, like the fighter's [B]Combat Challenge[/B]. Call this one [B]Turnabout[/B] [*]He would have a rechargeable ability (5,6) that allows him to engage multiple creatures at once, kind of holding them up for a round, like a multi-mark [B]engage[/B] [*]He has a ranged rechargeable (or just at-will?) that allows him to throw [B]firebomb[/B]s which fill a burst (2x2) and remain for the encounter, dealing 1d6+int fire damage (with ongoing 5 damage) to struck creatures and creates difficult terrain that might catch creatures on fire (deals ongoing fire damage that requires a save to end?). [*]In addition to these, there is probably some cool something or other that I have not thought of. [/list] Anyway, let me know what you think. If this post incites the masses to discuss martial controllers, I'll delete it because I really just want a cool dwarf monster. [/QUOTE]
