Yep this is where I'm at as well. And of course most first seasons of star trek haven't been the hottest, always takes time to find their footing (I think SNW is actually the best "season 1" of ST, it knocked it out of the park from day one imo).
I actually hope Caleb's mom sticks around, both...
This was made with 2014 cr math, which we know tends to undercut high CR monsters quite a bit. 2024 math would be interesting to try. I do agree with you that many high level parties could burn through 300 hp in 1-2 rounds.
That said, if you were playing this Superman with DnD monster...
In terms of int (and I'm going based on the animated cartoons primarily for my source), Superman is quite intelligent but not a "genius" compared to the real geniuses of the DCU. At a 14 int he is smarter than the vast majority of people on earth, but he's not the top. I also did give him speed...
Basically big risk big reward. If he pulls the trigger he wins…but he can’t gloat, can’t intimate, and can’t profit off of that space.
Or he holds them captive but keeps the sword of Damocles over his head.
We all know option 1 is the right call but villains got to villain
Yeah but it’s still an insane ridiculous area. That said as a force field it would have been “bat guano insane” but as a sensor net it’s a lot more believable
Ah ok. So interesting that he hasn't pulled the trigger. What is he hoping to get out of it? Ultimately if he pulls the button, he's straight up beaten the federation. They will not bother him again, and he can go and take over the rest of that sector. So why not pull the trigger?....is there...
yeah I was a bit confused by that. So they didn't actually trigger the omega?
my first thought was they triggered the molecules to create dead warp zones all around the federation. But then it looked more like a force shield, so I may have missed something.
Cool epsiode. That was a slick way to bring the Omega molecule back in action.
I appreciate that Braga's got some pretty solid plans, he's been a cool villain this season.
I'm also liking Sam 2.0, its still the same Sam in many ways....but distinctly different in others. Its been a good...
So the time has come. Just wrapped up my last campaign in epic fashion, and already the clamors for the next are ringing in my ears.
But several in my group asked the question, should we move to 5.5 for the next game?
I am already using the 5.5 monster manual for some encounter, but I have...
My gut was CR2. The trick is the lower the party, the tighter the gap, as they just have less resources to deal with swings and their hps are incredibly low....one good criit is all it takes to completely turn the fight against them.
At levels 2-4 the cap widens a bit, and at level 5 it widens...
