[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6107785, member: 20323"] Keeping up with the sblock tags just because it seemed like a good idea... [sblock= Stage 1 comments] Right now I've got the dragon as three level 14 solos, each with 400 HP (about -30% normal) but with greatly increased damage (still working that out) and "Worldbreaker" powers that auto-hit. The full encounter budget is 19,600 XP, which is a Level 20 encounter for a party of seven PCs... It includes the following elements: [b]Stage 1[/b] Infyrana, Red Dragon Mage, stage 1 5,000 XP 2 Burning Vapors 1,200 XP 10 kobold dragonshields 1,250 XP [B]Stage 2[/B] Infyrana, Red Dragon Mage, stage 2 5,000 XP 10 fire elemental sparks 1,250 XP [B]Stage 3[/B] Infyrana, Red Dragon mage, stage 3 5,000 XP 3 Red Dragon Wyrmlings 1,200 XP Puzzle: Faces of the Dragon 700 XP (still figuring this one out) Is there some resource you use with hard-and-fast 4e damage values defined? The ones I know of (DMG errata & Sly Flourish) you guys are saying is too low. The auto-blind is actually from [b]Solo Acts: The Worldbreaker[/b] blog [url]http://at-will.omnivangelist.net/2010/04/1511/[/url]. Let me clarify that it only comes into play 2 rounds in what will likely be a 8 or 9-round fight. Still, maybe I can reduce it to "blinded until start of your next turn"? That would evoke the scene without being overly punitive, right? [/sblock] [sblock=Stage 2 comments] Good catch, revising it. Yep, should be an opp attack. Yeah, that's the idea. Not sure how it will turn out in play. I can imagine the questions already: "Can I spend 2 minor actions to make two Arcana checks in one round to control the planeshift focus?" Thanks!
