I think this is a great germ of an idea.Much playtesting/designing probably still needs to be done. Nine Kobolds having Immobilize (Earth power via Cave trait) seems like it could be a problem. ;) In fact it seems really tricky to have a balanced and thematic power for all of the monsters with the same trait (eg. Cave: Bane Spider; Blood Ape; Cave Spider; Deep Elf; Ettin; Ferrox; Goblin Archer; Ice Wyrm; Kobold'; Lava Beetle; Naga; Ogre; Razorwing; Shadow Dragon; Troll; Wendigo)
And there is the problem of it encouraging the powering up of overpowered favourite monsters and using them even more often. But I'm sure this could be solved, if not embraced.
