Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 4837076" data-attributes="member: 73463">That’s a nice simple back story to set these guys up. It seems a little odd to have a level 8 soldier, a level 5 elite lurker and a level 6 minion. When creating a theme I would usually place soldiers earlier rather than later in the level progression because of their higher than average AC (which means they are useful for longer). This strikes me as a group of creatures designed for a level 6 party. Initial thoughts: Daywalker Grappler From your stats I would have expected:HP: 90Reflex: 19 Fierce GrappleThis doesn’t appear to live up to its name, it’s quite weak and I don’t really see that much incentive to use it as it stands.I think it should be +13 vs. Fortitude, and I would up the damage to 1d8+5 Divine ChainsI like this power and it works very well for a soldier who is designed to keep enemies locked up.Again I think it should be attack +13 vs. Reflex Blood DrainThis is where I would give the Grappler a reason to use Fierce grapple, I would make it a high damage encounter power that the Grappler could only use against a grabbed target. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" /> Blood Drain (standard, encounter); necrotic; grabbed target onlyGrabbed target only; attack +13 vs. Will (+15 against a bloodied target); 2d8+5 necrotic damage; on hit Grappler heals 22 HPs Daywalker Acrobat From your stats I would have expected:HP: 108AC: 21; Fortitude: 18; Reflex: 22; Will: 20(Note – you seem to have forgotten the defence bonuses from becoming an elite) I don’t really understand how you reached your damage bonuses on the creature, but I assume you are giving constant bonus damage as opposed to an extra 1d6 when it has combat advantage. If this is the case I would give it a +3 damage bonus (which I think you have done) KatarI would make this 1d10+8 damage (critical 1d6+18 damage) Flying Terror AttackI really like this power.Terror Drop – I would reduce the damage, but let the Acrobat drop its target at any point and add target is immobilised until the end of its next turnKatar – see aboveAcrobatic Feint – I like it Flying Revenge attack – I am not sure about this power, (I assume when you say claw you mean katar?). I think I would change it to Daywalker Acrobat can make a Flying Terror Attack as an immediate reaction. Acrobatic FlipI think I would have had this as a 4 squares shift, but 6 is fine really as it is an encounter power and as a lurker it will need an additional way to escape sticky situations. Daywalker Ripper ClawYou seem to have given this minion a +2 bonus to attack, I would have expected +11 vs. AC for a level 6 minion. The “on hit minion is immune to damage from that creature until the start of minions next turn” is very powerful. I quite like it, though I can see players not being too fond of it, and it is one of those powers that could go horribly wrong in a random situation.</blockquote>
