[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 7532073, member: 40552"] And how is a party coming up against one for the first time going to know that? How many people play necromancers? And any GM worth their salt is going to change the monster slightly because those pesky players have read the Monster Manuals. Perhaps the Annihilating Aura is 120' radius with lower damage. Perhaps it recovers HP when Life Eater reduces a target to 0 HP? Even without altering the monster you could have it use the treasure it carries. Perhaps it has a Ring of Dimension Door or a Crown of Teleportation. So it uses its Finger of Doom ability from 300' then [I]Teleports[/I] next to the victim and attacks with two Enervating Focus attacks (and don't forget Annihilating Aura), then [I]Teleports[/I] away. Perhaps with the victim. And watch out for one with a Ring of Invisibility! [/QUOTE]
