[QUOTE="Mesh Hong, post: 4849064, member: 73463"] These arn't the HPs/Defences I would expect, though that doesn't make them wrong as I base mine from the creatures stats [B]HP[/B]: 52 [B]AC[/B]: 20; [B]Fortitude[/B]: 15; [B]Reflex[/B] 18; [B]Will[/B] 19 I would have expected this to be +11 vs. AC and 1d8+2 damage (again for weapon damage I use either strength or dex bonus) The average expression for a level 6 lurker is 1d10+4 damage, I see you have no power that gives it bonus damage with combat advantage so I would tempted to increase the creatures base damage or add an effect. :bmelee: [B]Longsword Strike[/B] (standard, at will) - weapon attack +11 vs. AC; 2d6+2 damage (crit 19/20 for 1d8+14 damage) Again I would probably up the damage here, to 1d8+2 or maybe 1d10+2 and as it is a lurker add an suitable effect :ranged: [B]Shortbow Shot[/B] (standard, at will) - weapon Range 15/30; attack +11 vs. AC; 1d10+2 damage; in Grimmen misses with this attack while hiding it remains hidden I probably wouldn't bother making this power a 6 recharge and change it to an encounter power for easier book keeping.
