Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 5347549" data-attributes="member: 73463">I am very conflicted about this creature, I have written and deleted quite a few responses and still havn't come to a cohesive position. For this reason I will stick to discussing powers: Spin KickI do like Spin Kick, but in its current state as a standard action it is a very poor choice for the goblin. I think it might be better as a minor action: MINOR ACTION<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/c.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":close:" title="Close    :close:" data-shortname=":close:" />Spin Kick (encounter; recharges when an enemy spends a healing surge)Attack: close burst 1 (enemies in burst); +4 vs. ReflexHit: 1d4+2 damage and the target is pushed 1 squareEffect: if goblin hits at least 1 target with this attack it may shift 2 squares Enraged FrenzyThis is fine, personally I don't think it needs the rider of 2/encounter. This is a solo creature being able to do this once a round should be fine. Flying Body KickThis again is a good idea for a power, but as this is a solo it could maybe to with a little extra oomph. STANDARD ACTION<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" />Flying Body Kick * Recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />Attack: melee 1 (one creature); +6 vs. ACHit: 1d6+3 damage and the target is pushed 2 squares and knocked proneEffect: Goblin makes a Greatclub attack against a secondary target Thorny NetAs an attack that deals no damage it is horribly under par for a solo creature, even if used with its action point. I think it might make a good Move Action attack MOVE ACTION<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/area.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":area:" title="Area    :area:" data-shortname=":area:" />Thorny Net (poison) * EncounterAttack: area burst 1 within 10 (all creaures in burst); +4 vs. ReflexHit: target is restrained (save ends)Each Failed Saving Throw: target takes 5 poison damageAftereffect: Target is slowed (save ends) Other than that as has already been pointed out as a solo the creature really needs an at will double attack (at low level this usually specifies seperate targets). As an aside....Previously you have stated that you don't like "Video Gamey" elements in monster design. Without getting too confrontational about it I think the little "Cut Scenes" mechanic you introduce between stages and the fact that damage does not carry over are both very Video Gamey. Personally I don't have a problem with that but I find it quite ironic <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=";)" /></blockquote>
