There's a good chance it will have a couple of dazed or dominated targets to effect with this at any given point.  Auto-hitting them (if dominated) at reach 4, preventing heals until the end of its next turn, forcing death saves, and doing damage seems to be overpowered for an at-will ability on this creature.Preventing heals seems hard to justify thematically - how is it doing that?  It's not a big deal since it comes down to fluff, but I like creatures to have a coherent theme.  The ability itself is definitely scary, if that's what you're going for.  It also has the feel of something designed simply to thwart players rather than an organic part of this creature's powers.  What thematic part of this creature goes along with preventing healing?  It seems all about reach, domination, fear, and clambering around on its stilt legs in the mist.  If I were to design a creature that prevented healing, or absorbed it, I'd make it a major theme of that creature.  Perhasps something like: Embracer of Life - a semi-sentient vine creature from the Feywild that thrives on life energy, draining vitality from living creatures.Come Hither My Tasty Morsel <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> - reach 4 grab, pulls the target 4 squares - does little or no damageDraining Embrace - on a grabbed target, sucks life out of it, doing moderate to high damage and healing the Embracer for a bit, or granting it temporary HP.All Your Heals Are Belong to Me (or something less silly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) - immediate interrupt, recharge 5,6 (or recharge when bloodied) - when an embraced creature is the target of a healing power, the Embracer of Life instead absorbs the healing energy, gaining temporary hit points (or healing, or regeneration).That's just a rough idea of course.  I do like some of the flavor of the Slenderman, but think you need to consider making that particular power a recharge power, or toning it down some.  I don't really like killing off someone permanently with no chance of resurrection, but I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to those things.  It may work for your group.  Have fun with it!</blockquote>
