[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8779306, member: 11"] I find it interesting that one person comes up with CR 7 or 8 and another with CR 12 but leaning towards more defensive. Combats in my campaign usually last from 6 to 12 rounds and that seems right for my group. I have been working to make each use of legendary resistance at least have a visual aspect related to it, but when possible some small thing the creature has to give up to use it (like a reaction). But it is not just about raw damage. It is about taking a foe out of the fight and the panic that ensues in the group - so I don't see it as giving up much. But I do like the idea of having a reaction that helps set up the bite/swallow, like [USER=83242]@dave2008[/USER] suggests. I actually imagine the PCs are gonna try to get the heck out of there when this thing shows up. There is even a chance they can goad it to do damage to the sahuagin stronghold they are raiding/exploring. But since this happens underwater, there is a 3D space to play with bound by raised galleries there will be plenty of opportunities for an interesting fight, including retreating into areas only one of it tentacles can reach, etc. . . This is where we left off. The Sharktopus enters from a dark swirling portal in the ceiling forty feet above. [ATTACH type="full"]262214[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
