Black Rage, Solo Brute: Take 1
This is my first attempt at creating a custom creature for Dungeons & Dragons Forth Edition. All comments and suggestions are welcome.
The Black Rage is a giant that has been twisted by the necromatic powers within the Shadowfell. The Black Rage has learned to live off of its pain, turning it against those that dare attack it. In the middle of battle the Black Rage will go perfectly still, allowing its enemies to strike it, seeming to absorb the damage. Then suddenly dark energy will burst forth from the Dark Rage striking against those that had damaged it.

Interesting start, I’d like to rcommend http://angrydm.com/2010/04/the-dd-boss-fight-part-1/ for further ideas, including boss phases and so forth. It helped me a lot with solo mobs.
