Hi there. At about the hour mark of this podcast, you guys mused that it would be good to know about monster status effects – how often they use them, when can they start using the nastier ones, etc. Wonder no more! I put together a handy dandy chart detailing all that stuff and, thanks to the outstanding Mike Shea, have put it up on a new blog I’m going to try out. Hope it helps!
Interesting you should mention the idea of getting stats for what kind of status effects you find in powers at each level; I’m adding that to the next version of Masterplan.
