Is this possible?

I am working on a villainous mission and I want at the end a randomly chosen Paragon Heroes boss. Here's the problem: if I set the boss to Random, is there currently a method to getting the target's name to match which mob the mission chose? I tried typing $name into the Boss Name text box and it didn't work. Would it be easier/better if the boss was NOT random?

Don't think that will work. Even $target I think just gives you your own name.

I used random bosses in my Dating Ms. Liberty arc on one mission. What I did was just be vague. Leave the dialogue non descript.

If you're talking about the compass - then sort of the same deal. Named the bosses Challenge #1, Challenge #2.

Thinking back I think it would have just been better to stick to one boss or creating a custom character for it. But i really liked the idea of the mission being different every time you played it.

Neither $target or $name works in the name field for NPCs. I've tried it when using doppelgangers.

Hrrm... Perhaps it's better to just do a specific boss rather than a random one.
