Creature ability details?

celestiangc22

Is there a way to see what abilities a creature/encounter has? Firebreath, choppy choppy, wizard or whatever? I could find no way to see what abilities a creature has. Some I could obviously guess but some are "new" for me and being able to see what they do would go a long way to allowing me to place creatures with powers and skin them to make more sense.

Nope.

Do what I did, put a variety of different mob groups in a big room and fight them. I made notes on what powers used. You can get a good idea on HP when you ctrl+space them to death.

Yea first map I started working on I placed all the solo encounters (boss encounters) down to test what abilities they used to see which one I could use and switch it's costume up for a boss fight.

That being said, they really need to add more bosses we can use, I always see the same ones over and over in Foundry missions it's really boring.

As others have said: the best way to learn is to have a seperate combat test map, and simply drop the encounters in one by one to try them out.

Failing that - someone did a list of monster stats with a (brief) ability list in there too:

And I consolidated it onto one page here:
