[QUOTE="Mesh Hong, post: 4991263, member: 73463"] Sorry this will be a really quick response to a quick read, if I get more time later I will have another look. If my replies seem a little blunt it is because of time issues, not attitude! :) Are all these creatures meant to be in 1 encounter for 6 level 1 characters? 1: [B]Wave of Ice[/B] - I would change to an encounter power and lower damage. Probably 1d8+3 cold damage. 2: [B]Freeze Breath[/B] - I would redesign this power, close blast 5 as a reaction for a low level solo seems like massive overkill to me, and too indiscriminate. 3: [B]Crimson Caltrops[/B] - I like the power, but I think its too much damage, 2 would probably be better than 5. 1: [B]Rod of Furious Ice[/B] - 5 ongoing damage is a lot for a level 1 character. 2: [B]Evil Eye[/B] - Burst 10 effect would normally be reserved for paragon tier, but there is nothing [I]inherently[/I] wrong with it - I suppose. 3: [B]Frigid Grasp[/B] - is unclear, needs explain better. 4: [B]Breath of Winters Night[/B] - Is probably fine. 1: [B]Chilling Aura[/B] - I would drop this to aura 1 2: [B]Ice Reaper[/B] - this seems dangerous. I would make this just apply to [B]Frozen Flail[/B] attacks, as it is written it could actually be added to teh aura damage! 1: [B]Frostfell Arrow[/B] - I am assuming this is an encounter power? 2: [B]Heartfreezing Arrow[/B] - seems like too much damage from a standard creature single attack, if you had a couple of these guys you would have a massive alpha strike. If you only have one of them its not as bad. [B]General[/B] All these creatures seem to have the theme of lowering defences and immobilising. This might not be an ideal approach against level 1 PCs, especially if this is the players first look at 4e. [/QUOTE]
