[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4991315, member: 54846"] Thanks! I look forward to your more indepth responses! :) 3 encounters. Encounter 1: 2 Frosthammers 1 Gaze of Winter Buncha zombie minions. Encounter 2: 1 Frosthammer 2 Archers 1 Hobgoblin Subcommander (level 3 soldier - should I level him down to 2?) 4 Hobgoblin Grunts (2nd level minions) Encounter 3: Herald of Winter 2 Archers 3 Hogboblin Grunts (lvl 2 minions) No no no. The power is a Close Burst 5 so that he can get it off without taking an OA - it can only target [B]1[/B] character. Sorry I wasn't clear. Should I also reduce that to Ongoing 2? Good point. I keep thinking that level 1 PCs are fairly hearty. And always thought Ongoing 2 was lame. But I'll give it a shot. Burst 5 is better? It can only target one person, and is only usable 1/round. It's basically the Bard encounter power 'Blunder'. You attack, you move the target next to one of your allies, and the ally gets a basic attack against the target. Aura 1, but should I stick with the 3 damage, or go for 2? I never thought of that. I don't think that Ice Reaper adds to the aura damage for Chillborn zombies (but I could be wrong!). I took both powers from the Seeker PC class. The Frostfell arrow is an At-Will of the Seeker (Thorn Cloud I think) and Heartfreezing Arrow is a 1st level Encounter, Spider Spirit. Are PC powers too harsh to give monsters? OOPS. I noticed a mistake in my notes. The Archers are 2nd level artillery, not 3rd. They have 2nd level artillery stats, but just letting you know I'm not throwing 3rd level monsters at the PCs. [/QUOTE]
