Aart from rebuilding a city of Shade?
Ive had the two surviving royals tane charge snd using the mythallar from Anauroch Empire of Shadows book to create shadow magen. Theyre short of personal.
Should of Thirst is a act 2 BG3 inspired place. Dead magic zone shadow weave works fine though...
Seems to be an invented enworld problem.
We did a deep dive elsewhere on actual problems. CME got number 1 but rarely used, emanations, chromatic orb got mentioned along with verzerker barbarian iirc
5E has save or suck spells. Spellcasters often struggle at the kill part.
5.5 meta imho is use those save or sucks to let the martials do their thing.
Best party 1-20 is probably cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin something like that.
3E was dearh=best strategy. Death/incapacitated is the best debuff.
You might stack spell DC, damage etc to do that.
5E has bloated HP by comparison, save or dies dont really exist and you cant stack buffs/spell DC as much.
Si when you drubrush whit on black primer ive been using a free turn white.
Prepping some for speed paint test.
One guy who showed me basically uses a lot and theyre pale Grey head to toe.
Another showed me r layers dry brush last two are highlighted mostly.
Ones kind of dark Grey...
It was a ranged attack shoot snd scoot.
RAW the actual assassin is CR8. A bunch of them is way to high.
Last campaign I used bhaalists a lot. CR2-5. Don't want to overdo the assassinations.
