Altrus is always with allies, either devils that are under him, or people who have signed a contract with him. He does not fight to the death unless pressed. He trys to keep range, and "convince" people to side with him.

First, until the end of who's turn is the target dominated.
ReplyDeleteSecond, how does silence even effect a creature?
Third, the purple wyrm is a lvl 17ish mob, is elite solo with 500 +/- hp.
Nice, having a supper solo mob that always travels with allies!
He is not supposed to be an even lvl encounter, so allies are appropritate. Silence effects creaturs in diffrent ways.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hp of a elite should be lower than a solo... if the purple worm is solo, it will have a bit more hp than Altrus.
All this was made with the DDI monster builder, so is all stat appropriate.
Looks good, but tricky to use effectively. Altruis' ability to pretty much keep one person dominated at all times (Temptation + Command = nearly unavoidable domination) and his ability to effectively ignore one melee attacker per round takes a party down by two characters at any given time (and if someone drops, gods help the party). However, his lack of damage output makes him a Very Sad Solo Monster, who really _relies_ on his allies to do his dirty work for him. Altruis alone = Altruis desperately postponing death.
ReplyDeleteTo Sergei: The Soothing Words attack requires the target to be able to hear Altruis; while silenced, the attack is unavailable to him, which means he can't drop a lasting domination on someone.
