New pattern ideas:


Note: Damage model
:Ghostly, +3, adds incorporeal
:Poxed: +1, adds a disease (TBD) to bites or melee
:Poisonous: +1 adds a poison (TBD) to claws or melee
:Bruiser: +1, adds bruised to all attacks
:Healer Mage: +2, weaker defender mage with a heal (add bloodied to a mob as a standard action, 1/enc/mob


:*Added melee/ranged attacks do 1d6 damage plus 2 per base CR up to CR20, plus 3 per base CR 21+  4d6/7CR to 20, 1d6/CR after
:*Added swift action powers do 1d4 per base CR
:*Added Standard action powers do 1d6 per base CR
:*Added Alpha powers do 1d8 per base CR to CR25, 1d8+1 per base CR 26+




New Patterns:




* Agile +3 CR, gains +3AC, Touch and Flatfooted AC are ignored. +2 to-hit and +5 damage
* Potent Creature = +3 CR, shrug a condition 1/encounter as a swift, smite vs any enemy as swift, +3 to-hit, +5 damage, hp as new CR
* Eldritch Creature = +3 CR (old pseudonatural?)

monster roles expansions:
 
* as we get into the bestiary pass, there's been a request for a different 'reset/shakeup' mechanic as used by heavies, threats, tanks, etc. 
 
*Possibility 1: Defense: hardened vs all damage plus Reset/Shakeup: free action forced movement attack power. 
*Possibility 2: Defense: regeneration plus Reset/Shakeup: a teleport damage power. 
*Possibility 3: Defense: bloodied value heal/temp immune plus Reset/Shakeup: damaging teleport once. 
 
The third one is what we have today.
 
if we wanted to get crazy, we could mix and match, any defense plus any reset/shakeup ability, making 9 total flavors of reset power.  just a thought.

monster roles expansions:
  • as we get into the bestiary pass, there's been a request for a different 'reset/shakeup' mechanic as used by heavies, threats, tanks, etc.
  • Possibility 1: Defense: hardened vs all damage plus Reset/Shakeup: free action forced movement attack power.
  • Possibility 2: Defense: regeneration plus Reset/Shakeup: a teleport damage power.
  • Possibility 3: Defense: bloodied value heal/temp immune plus Reset/Shakeup: damaging teleport once.

The third one is what we have today.

if we wanted to get crazy, we could mix and match, any defense plus any reset/shakeup ability, making 9 total flavors of reset power. just a thought.
