Effect Take Aim (Standard)
Effect: Ghoster gains a +4 bonus on his next attack and damage roll versus a creature he can see within 40 squares. If that attack rolls dice for damage, increase its critical hit range by 1. This benefit ends when Ghoster moves, can no longer see the creature, or chooses a new creature for this attack. Bonuses from this power stack up to 3 times.
Flash Bomb (Standard; 6 times per encounter.) ♦ Radiant, Thunder
Attack: Area burst 2 within 10 (creatures in burst other than Ghoster); +19 vs. Fortitude Hit: 1d4 + 10 radiant and thunder damage. Target is blinded and deafened (save ends both). Miss: Half damage. All creatures have concealment against the target until the end of Ghoster's next turn.
Smoke Bomb (Standard; 6 times per encounter.) ♦ Poison, Zone
Effect: Area burst 2 within 10; The burst creates a zone of thick noxious smoke. The zone is heavily obscured, and blocks line of sight. Any creature that ends its turn in the zone takes 10 poison damage and is slowed and dazed until the end of its next turn. At the end of each turn, increase the size of the burst by 1. When the size of the burst is greater than 3, the zone is lightly obscured, and any creature that ends its turn in the zone takes 5 poison damage and is slowed until the end of its next turn. When the size of the burst is greater than 5, the zone dissipates. Ghoster is immune to these effects.
Landmine (Standard; 6 times per encounter.) ♦ Fire, Thunder, Zone
Effect: Ghoster creates a zone in an area burst 1 within 1 square that lasts until the end of the encounter. The zone is invisible to all creatures and non-magical. An Insight or Perception check (DC 34) allows a creature to spot the zone. A Thievery check (DC 20) allows a creature to determine that the zone can be prematurely triggered. A Thievery check (DC 34) made in or adjacent to the zone allows a creature to disable the zone. Any creature other than Ghoster that enters the zone, or an area, close blast or burst attack with the fire or thunder keyword that overlaps with the zone triggers the following attack as no action, using the zone's origin square as the attack's origin square: Attack: Close burst 2 (creatures in burst); +19 vs. Reflex Hit: 5d12 + 10 thunder and fire damage and the target is knocked prone. If the attack roll exceeds the target's defense by 5 or more, the target is dazed and deafened (save ends). Miss: Half damage.
