[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 3605821, member: 23023"] I just wanted to say that I used the Maniacs in the first combat of my newest campaign. It was totally awesome. I used them in combination with 2 Cask Imps from the Monsternomicon. Started by having a guy suddenly running around and then he fell off the ship. Then two others ran the length of the ship away from a Maniac. As people started doing weird things, everyone kind of figured out what the effect was, but it took them a little longer to figure out where the source was. Most of the damage came from the PCs striking each other, but the Commoners did get a couple of lucky hits in [twice ALMOST crit hit, but not quite]. Paladin detected Evil and one of the random Commoners I decided was evil, and everyone thought he was the cause before they figured out the truth. So they ended up knocking him unconscious though ironically, he didn't even do anything except for the one time he was confused and attacked someone else. So then they decided to interrogate one of the Maniacs. They were like 'Why did you do this?" He was like "I don't know what happened. I was just performing and people started acting weird. I thought it was just them acting out their joy." Players were like 'riiiight'. Then I said 'Everyone make Will saves'. Seriously though, it took a Paladin, a hexblade, and an Artificer like 8 rounds to strike him once to knock him unconscious again [and this without armor and considered flat-footed because of the manacles - though he maybe shouldn't be - wouldn't have for effects like Sneak Attack though had there been any Rogues]. They kept getting hit with the aura and the laughter and the couple of times they managed to attack him, they missed. Was a GREAT experience we all enjoyed immensely. [/QUOTE]
