I am starting a new campaign soon and so the elements I am going to mix all together are,
Ancient artifact that has ten pieces each with a time or space effect
space and planner travel
each pieces in a different time in the inner sea, at least one planet in the solar system, and one on the planes.
some dark tapestry with a possible show down with cuthulu
and as much Hyperion cantos as I can cram in there. especially the strike.
so I guess I will ask everybody how you would stat up then strike.
so any thoughts on any of that would be great and if anyone out there lives near Evarts MI and wants to join let me know.
Strike = unstoppable killing machine that can slow down or stop or reverse time... hmmm... is he friend or foe?
(read the books many times each)

Some of my favorite books.
For stating up the Shrike: I'd go with a high level fighter who can cast time stop at will as a spell-like ability - with the caveat that he can damage other creatures during the freeze.
...
What, you didn't expect it to be balanced did you?

Just finished stating up with hero lab, I am going to add time stop at will Broken Zenith . By the time the heroes meet this they should be able to handle it. He does get beat in fall of Hyperion and the rise of Endymion, and the artifact I am still working on should help them.
