ADDITION:

(Insert into The Wild Sun sidebar)

Rumors abound of Nagthari priests controlling these sunstorms, dispelling them with powerful magics, or even summoning them with mighty rituals. Few enemies of the Sinagthari want to test the truth behind the tales.

Okay. As far as I can tell, fluff needs little revisions for the Nagthar article. The backgrounds would do better if there are skills associated with it, ala PHB2 backgrounds.

Another interesting but that we can add is to have a Nagthar organizational benefit that we can have in place of a background. Wink

And don't worry; new backgrounds are GSL.

Notice that all of these things have tech influence already, and this is basically what the nagthar article is lacking now. We need tech to work! Around 4 monsters/NPC's that could challenge the part. A nagthar angel, a sun monk, whatever works.

Beyond that, a few more feats, maybe a weapon or two.

erwin, are you still willing to assign here? We look to you as tech team head to get your men running.

I believe b_b is assign here. But if he's not gonna be available, we'll have a problem, since tech team is low on manpower.

Well, I guess I can cook up a few monsters myself if tech is manpower low atm. I'll take BJ's suggestion of a Hunter, a Priest, and an Angel.

Rough ideas, Hunter will be a level 3 skirmisher, the Priest a level 6 Elite controller (leader), and the Angel a level 9 artillery. At least it gives me something to think on during the weekend.

Approved thread updated, PP, Paragon feat, and monsters incorporated into article core.

Should I still create a unique NPC for the Nagthari? Considering building an elite artillery angel. Do you think the content in the approved article is enough, or should I add this?

If you're going to include a unique creature, it must be mentioned/included in a fluff as well.

I did use a red dragon as a Nagthari; Firebrand Maekrixen iirc. He's not quite elder yet, but he's already huge. And he's more of a controller unlike other reds. Can't for the life of me devote time to making it, though.
