[QUOTE="hirou, post: 7527349, member: 6776023"] Oops, terribly sorry, confused you with another DM here. There seems to be a surge in 4e popularity recently :D Mooks have Str-Dex-Con around 12-16 actually, best I can see is Dex 20, which can patch Reflex save of Wis/Cha based character, but not by much. But seriously, hijacking even a body of random hired gun seems like a thing that would raise a lot of eyebrows in RHC HQ and, probably, disapproval from Delft personally. If your party wants to minmax their chance to success by any means possible - that's not something you can "fix" with a patch of a single ritual. You can play on that, test if they are really ready to save the world but tarnish their name for all eternity, i.e. by offering "behind the curtains" deal with Nicodemus. Adventures mention the possibility of PC working for Obscurati, maybe your group is going this way. If you're still looking for rigid mechanical limitations... NPCs in 4e only have one healing surge per tier. It would be quite hard to survive when you only have 2 surges per day (3 by epic tier), even with Comrades Succor ritual. Also, Mortal Possession ends within 3 rounds if the material focus is broken. I'd reason that "woven bracelet dipped in gold" can be disturbed by any area attack which deals 10 or more damage, so any hand grenade can lead to a very nasty surprise for PC. [/QUOTE]
