With the former, your whole party is guaranteed once chance to use the effect. Any solution must take this into effect.With MMII solos so different from MMI solos, solutions need to be tailored to different sources. We could create some kind of template, like the Orcus Upgrade suggested in the Demogorgon article. This would include something like this. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">80% hit points and slightly lowered defenses.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">About a 30% damage upgrade.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some kind of "out" for the creature to escape effects (not suggested in that article.</li> </ul>Even before I read up on Save Points, I thought that using Action Points for this might be a good idea. This need not be restricted to solos; it could work for elites and even PCs. My players hate all the effects they suffer from; this could bring that under control. Say that by spending an action point at the beginning you your turn, you can automatically escape any one effect you are suffering from. No distinction between types of effects. This would also nerf orb wizards while still letting them feel they had some effect; they cost the monster an action point. Every encounter.Letting players do this might require looking at some paragon paths, tough.</blockquote>
