Not big updates, but necessary nonetheless (nothing else because confuse doesn't exist!) - also a level 2 solo salamander because someone needed one for a game and so I did a quick convert so may as well post it. Devourer-spawnThe Devourer is a horrific entity from the Far Realms whose tentacles drag reality and the Far Realms closer together. When a creature dies in an area touched by the Devourer's power, it may be reborn as a tool of the Devourer."Devourer-spawn" is a template you can add to any living creature.Devourer-spawnaberrantXP EliteSenses Blindsight 5Defenses +2 AC; +2 Fortitude, +4 WillSaving Throws +2Action Point 1Hit Points Add additional hit points for a monster of this level and type (see the “Monster Statistics by Role” table on page 184 of the Dungeon Master's Guide)Regeneration 5 at 1st level, 10 at 11th level, 15 at 21st level. If the devourer-spawn is critically hit, its regeneration does not function for the encounter.POWERS<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" />Tentacles (standard; at-will)  Reach 2 (4 if Huge or larger); Level + 5 vs. AC; 1d8 + Strength modifier damage and the target is pulled 2 squares.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/r.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ranged:" title="Ranged    :ranged:" data-shortname=":ranged:" /> Seed of Insanity (minor; recharge 5 6) * Psychic  Ranged 5; Level + 2 vs. Will; 1d8 + Charisma modifier psychic damage and the target is dazed (save ends). Failed Save: the target is also dominated until the end of its next turn.Far Step (move; recharge 5 6)  Teleport 10 squares.   FlameblessedFlameblessed are the chosen instruments of a higher power associated with fire, usually either an appropriate god, an archdevil, demon prince, or a primordial. They are more easily excitable, impulsive, and devastating in melee.In some cases this template is acquired as a form of punishment, in which cases the endless burning causes pain. In other cases, it is a gift that gives constant pleasure. Rarely is the personality of a creature unaffected by this template."Flameblessed" is a template that can add to any creature. It best complements a melee oriented monster.Flameblessed Elite Brute or SoldierXP EliteDefenses +2 AC; +2 Fortitude, +2 ReflexResist 5 + 1/2 level fireSaving Throws +2Action Point 1Hit Points +10 per level + Constitution score (brute) or +8 per level + Constitution score (soldier)Speed Increase all movement speeds except swim by 2.POWERSFire Aura (Fire) Aura 2Any enemy that enters or starts its turn in the aura takes 5 fire damage.Flame Weapons Add 1d6 fire damage to any melee attack a flameblessed makes. Add the fire keyword to every melee power. As a free action, the flameblessed may choose to make all damage from any of its melee attacks deal fire damage.Searing RetributionOpportunity attacks gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls and add ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends)....Actually, I still think solos are one of the weaker aspects of the system (not surprising for a system that tries to get you to move away from fighting one monster at a time), but someone wanted a level 2 solo salamander.
