[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7726753, member: 996"] Back in the day, my semi-regular group's high-level PCs had fallen into a bit of a rut, they'd all gotten terribly high DEX and would win initiative and blow up the monsters before they could do anything. Not too earthshaking or brilliant, just the +3 (or 4? with a 19?) reaction/attacking adjustment being a bit much for the d6 used for initiative. So, in one dungeon, I tossed in this room with permanent darkness 2' over the floor, and quicklings zipping in and out through miniature 2' tunnels. The whole dungeon had vents haunted by Will-o-whisps, who would show up when anyone was getting killed to feed on their dying life force. The final battle with the literal boss, an arcanadaemon, had it using glassee & project image from behind a solid wall to rain spells on the party, then retreat into a prismatic sphere once they figured it out. Adversarial-DMing kid stuff. Anyway, only time I ever used the Quickling. [/QUOTE]
