[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5876775, member: 326"] Hey Jhaelen! :) Glad you like it, although I am not so keen now. My current favourite is: [B]Solo Resilience[/B] The solo monster is unaffected by conditions or negative effects until reduced to 25% hit points or less. Supplementing this would be: [B]Weak Spot[/B] Striking the monster's weak spot ignores any resistances and the Solo Resilience trait.
