I also think your defences are a little out, on a side note the robot having a dex of 20 is above what would be expected for a level 3 artillery (14, +3 from as it is primary give 17 or maybe 18, 20 is quite high) Anyway from your stats the defences should be (including giving it +2 to up to 3 stats because it is an elite) HP: 80AC: 17; Fortitude: 18; Reflex: 20; Will: 15 #edit: speed 10 is a bit too high as well, this thing could kite the PCs quite easily in the right enviroment Tentacle ClawThe to hit value is good, however the damage should be either 1d6+2 (str) or 1d6+5 (dex) - note this is a direct effect from having too high a dex stat. ChokeThis is a conditional attack (a creature must be grabbed first) so I would either make it a minor action (1/round) for low damage or a standard action for high damage. The slight problem I am having is that this is an artillery creature that grabs......that seems to be going against type. Bearing all that in mind I would go for something like:- {M} Choke (minor; at-will) * 1/round; Grabbed target onlyTarget must be grabbed at start of Robots turn; +8 vs Fortitude; 1d6+2 damage; on hit target is dazed (save ends) Meat ShieldThats fine. Electric GunPersonally I would say that 2d10+3 is far too much damage for a level 3 creature. I would change it to 2d6+5 lightning damage (dex again); as I have suggested using daze for the grab power I would think about changing the auto daze here to a; on hit secondary attack +8 vs. Fortitude; on hit target takes a -2 penalty to all actions (save ends) {r} Electric Gun (standard; recharge 5,6) * lightningRanged 10; +8 vs Reflex; 2d6+5 lightning damage; on hit secondary attack +8 vs. Fortitude; on hit target takes a -2 penalty to all actions (save ends)  On the whole I like the idea of what you are trying to do, but I am a bit uncomfortable with an elite artillery creature that doesn't have access to a ranged attack every turn, but is designed around grabing people in melee. Creature ROLE is very important in creature design as it determines many key abilities (i.e. HPs, AC; attack values; and expected effects)  ADDITIONAL -  I have just read where you say that PCs can take the gun. If that is the case I would highly recommend having a ammo track for it and saying it can only have 5 shots (or so) before recharging.)</blockquote>
