[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 3110617, member: 799"] Yeah she is definately designed as a boss monster like I posted above. It's the case with all the unique demons and should be very very challenging for the party in that campaign if not the whole game world. I toughened her up since at CR 30 theres the availability of epic spells and items which sorely changes the game. Sadly I have no real conceptions of how this inpacts things. To check some of her stats, Hitdice, DR and SR I headed over to Seps Rogues Galery to compare a few values. Compared to the CR 30 stuff there such as Azazal (24 HD), The Horror (18 HD), Grazzt (36 orso? HD) and others, Yx seems severely underpowered in anything straight up. This compared to things such as AC 60+ and things with SR 60 and SR 90. Yx doesn't even cast spells unlike most of those others. Her real challenge lies very much in the enviroment she is presented, in a straight up fight she'll get owned pretty darn fast at that level I think. An average level 30 melee character should hit her about 75% of the time over all attacks considering an attack of 30 BAB, 7 Str mod, 7 enhancement leaves us already at a +44 without even being absurd on the attack bonus against an AC 47. That just misses on a 3 or less, in my opinion that leaves more then enough room to power attack hehe. And beating SR 45 at level 30 should be peanuts to. 30 caster levels, +4 from spell penetration feats perhaps, +5 casterlevel from even a non epic item for a meager 75thousand gold pieces already gives us a +39 to beat a SR 45 which succeeds on a 6 or higher which is about 75% again. She seems pretty mince meat against a level 30 party that isn't even using epic spells to beat her. Straight up melee with some walls or a petrification or disintegration effect will take care of her. Most certainly if thats epic petrification or disintegration. A second opinion from Sep would be cool and I consider PMming him about it or just hijacking his thread about it :p. I'll give it a nights sleep though but straight up Yx looks pretty solid to me perhaps even weak. In her enviroment I consider her pretty damn challenging for level 30 since she can pretty easily separate a party which is always evry deadly. It's all in the way she is encountered really which leaves plenty of ways to easily balance the challenge and all in all, she was designed as a boss encounter. Thanks a ton again for the input, its really helpfull. You got a way better eye for CR then me. Much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
