First Post
First real experiment making an NPC for 4e. This is the soulless guy I posted about on the other thread in 4e Rules; he's based off a shadar-kai assassin with some extra powers, I tried not to make any crazy powers since the PCs are still fairly low-level. I gave him elite hit points - my party is composed of 4 level 2s (a swordmage, a druid, a warden and a bard) so if folks in here think a level 4 elite is too tough I can tone the hp back down.
The dagger of decay is basically envisioned as Padan Fain's shadow dagger in Wheel of Time. Statwise, I just used the Poisoned weapon in Adventurer's Vault and redid the damage as necrotic, not poison.
I also do plan on having Tomasz factor into the campaign later, so he has other powers that aren't reflected here as they won't effect combat at all (things like a sort of invisibility to non-intelligent undead: he's seen by them, but seen as a zombie/skeleton/whatever. Things like liches or vampires can see him for what he is, though).
