My editing is done at this level. This I am happy with.
Shadowstorm Arrow, if a weapon attack, should be vs. AC and deal [W] dice.
Shadowstorm arrow seems like way too much to be a level 3 encounter. It needs trimming back to either only the concealment effect or the damage effect.
Blackwind assault I do not like. The attack should be a weapon attack.
Shadowstorm Arrow
Took out the Implement keyword, added the Weapon keyword.
For Blackwind Assault, the first Hit line should be an effect. Otherwise, it's a little weak for an encounter.
