[QUOTE="Zieche, post: 5337590, member: 89815"] The Resplendent! Regrettably I didn't have the time to setup the gatherers in previous encounters. So I included them in the final encounter as pseudo minions. I left their 30 hps but took their insubstantial away. This gave them a round or two of attacks each but kept them from becoming a distraction to the main resplendent. Who was amazing. I gave the group a visual indicator of how many manifestation points he had with swirling blue energy that was slowly increasing his bulk but as he used certain powers the lights would go out and he would shrink ever so slightly. Faces of the absorbed would occasionally play across his body, the elf when he re rolled an attack, (against an elf archer, mmmm payback). The hafling face screamed in pain as he made a sword mage reroll a critical, good times. For the most part I left him unchanged, I did switch the claw and whip attack ranges so the minor was a little more threatening to the backline while he clawed the front line. His teleport ability and the burst that pushed targets had the defenders freaking out as he constantly was reshaping reality around them. He spoke in soothing tones in their minds, often inviting them to "join his mind in glory", and "gaze upon how wonderfully he had reforged their meager frames into his new splendid form!". He used lines like "This reality does not please me!" as he teleported or allowed his gathers to attack. The mind realm at the end was pretty scary, as his attack only managed to catch / hit the archer and the swordmage, leaving the rest of the party to watch as they tried to wear him down. He focused on the bloody swordmage and was able to drop him with 4 hps left. The party agreed it was a terrifying fight and an excellent end to this particular campaign arc. [/QUOTE]
