I have a Dire Crocodile (one of the Cannibal 'gods') in the Vampire Bestiary thats Solo level 4 and it is a really tough encounter. I think I initially had him at Level 3 and on paper it just looked a tpk.I suggest using my Boss Monster rules (I think they are mentioned at the top of the Idol of Kali stat-blocks).The 'escape' move could be automatically built into the 'story' of the encounter. For instance once you bloody the monster (or its first stat-block) something is triggered (the castle starts to collapse, etc.) that changes the dynamic/pacing.This wouldn't necessarily need to be at the start of the fight. It could take place mid-way through.Okay.Be careful giving them too many attacks, or specifically too many attacks against a single target.EXP would be the same as a Level 15 creature.I'd be interested to hear how it operates against the party. I really would be shy about using solo monsters against low Heroic tier PCs.</blockquote>
