He's way overpowered for a level 10-15 dungeon (D3) for the following reasons:
Epic Dodge 46 AB Ability to Regen from near death to uninjured in under a minute Stun Aura Monk speed 5+ attacks per round. 25+ damage per hit. SR enough to block spells from a level 16 caster with Normal and Greater Spell Penetration
Could something be done about him just a little bit?

Why not just avoid him? Maybe some creatures aren't supposed to be easy to kill. BTW, I don't have any problem defeating him at the appropriate player levels. Think outside the box.

Bit difficult when he has:
True Seeing Monk Speed Can Follow you through the area transition. You have to pass him to get to Shard.

You can't simply 'avoid' him, since you can't use the the portal down to Shard in combat. The only way to not fight him would be to run past, leave the game, bring in a diff char, kill him, return, and THEN be able to use the portal down to Shard after the area is clear. Karl clearly belongs a couple dungeons up, he's a lot tougher than Shard is. Oops, now Shard gets harder. Sorry, folks.

not entirely true. if u follow the wall around he dont see u . hes tough but he is part of the quest. i would suggest him be moved to a less traveled path tho. i use him as a test fight to see how my build is doing.

He can be avoided and he can be defeated without the help of items or creatures from higher levels.

Possible but exceedingly difficult, more than would be expected.

I recently fought him, beat him, and didn't need a single heal or special item. Sorry, but I don't see what's so difficult about Karl. Sure, he's capable of destroying you in short order if you don't play it smart, but he's easily beaten using only those resources available to characters in D3. A clarity potion is definitely a wise choice.
