Hey all. I tried my hand at creating an undead Challenge 30 monster called The Lingering Havoc which is a collection of body parts. Take a look and please let me know what you think. I'm open to suggestions and feedback! http://worldbuilderblog.me/2014/10/02/the-lingering-havoc/

OK my critique...

 

Lingering Havoc

  • Average ability is a bit low (18.8 rather than 25)
  • Max ability is fine
  • HP are pretty high
  • Regeneration and Absorb The Dead make HP even higher (@756)
  • Damage is super high.  This thing would simply opt for multiattack with 237.25 damage every round (1x death ray=109.25, 4x slam=128). By comparison Poison Breathe is meh. And I have left out the wights...
  • Legendary actions not included in assessment, of course, since Legendary Creature is just a template. But the way you have applied it looks appropriate to me.
  • It does looks OP to me. Ready for a TPK???
