I'm offering responses to further discussion, not trying to just shoot down the ideas!<br/><br/>I think all of my rewrites were solid upgrades -- could you elaborate on how he's lost his 'boss killer' status? Though I admit, at the risk of sounding butt-hurt, I'm not sure 'boss killer' is a welcome motif.<br/><br/>The only thing really lost was breaking Energy Drain Immunity to apply negative levels, but Zaer was pretty clear it was too much anyway. I'd rather remove it entirely than have there regularly be a 'gotcha!' of somebody being immune or resistant to him. Keeping his damage and his Soul Eater abilities regardless is an enjoyable trade for me, even if there's no benefit from negative levels. I think I've had his Guardian Souls and Aura of Inebriation as more support because I thought putting all my eggs in the 'punching one guy' basket would be a boring character. Aura of Inebriation is also his only AoE ability if he ever did have to deal with a crowd; outside of Archfiend SLAs and Robilar’s Gambit + Combat Expertise.<br/><br/>I never intended him to be a 'minion' guy -- any minions he does spawn will likely be sent away on tasks, missions, or just to manage cult activity. Any with particularly useful support abilities might be kept in the base to offer whatever niche service they have. I also like the Demonic-Vampire angle as a bartering tool -- like offering people immortality in exchange for things, slightly less messy than standard vampirism.<br/><br/>It'll be tough for me to really work Bardic Music at this point, without redoing most of Methu's feats/gear around. Without all of the support in gear/feats, Bardic Music isn't especially exciting. That's my take on it, at least -- I'd listen to arguments otherwise.<br/><br/>Given that his Artifact is gauntlets with Amulet of Natural Attacks built in, he's sort of already got the Quality of enhancing his attacks, but I do like the idea.<br/><br/>As for what I want Methu to do: he's a sneaky, charming, brute. Should be able to take a good amount of damage and dish it out. I suppose I could focus more on the sneaky side, but frankly, there are more dedicated Archfiends for being sneaky. I'd rather have something more unique.
