Or just that it costs a healing surge to use it for an encounter as it just takes a big chunk of flesh out with a bite.I'll talk about some more complex ways later... big update today cause of some stuff that happened over on WotC boards:Old Monsters (corrected to match DMG 184-185 more closely):Goblin Pyro, Level 1 Skirmisher[sblock]Goblin PyroLevel 1 SkirmisherXP 100Small natural humanoidInitiative +3Senses Perception +0HP 27; Bloodied 13AC 15; Fortitude 12, Reflex 14, Will 13Speed 6<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Dogslicer (standard; at-will) * Weapon  +6 vs. AC; 1d6 damage. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Torch (standard; at-will) * Fire  +6 vs. Reflex; 1d4 fire damage and 2 ongoing fire damage (save ends). <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/r.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ranged:" title="Ranged    :ranged:" data-shortname=":ranged:" /> Pyromaniac (standard; encounter) * Fire  Range 5/10; +6 vs. Reflex; 1d8 fire damage and 5 ongoing fire damage (save ends).
