suppose I have to change my tactics and have a few strong NPC's instead of punch of weak swarming NPC's

I suppose little more detail might shed some light on hes tactics. Also I'm a newer DM I'm still trying to learn encounter building. If I have a bunch of minions he cast greater invisibility then fire balls from a distance or wall of fire depending on the grouping of the enemies. If I have 1 big...

I rather not counter spell he's wall of force but I don't really want him to completely negate the entire encounter

sorry was using my phone move the post to the op don't know if it would notify anyone if I edit my original

Wall of force cant really be resisted it just happens. Is there any other spells similar to it I'm kinda concerned in that fashion?

Well if it's a brute it's a big bag of hit points they dont really have any abilities to negate the fight so easy enough to set up for them? If that answers your question?

Good day everyone looking for how other DM's challenge high level wizard players but not screw them over. So far all I've come up with is having enemy casters that counterspell hes spells when they can but I feel like its cheesy. I've talked to the player about enemy spell casters with...

Hmm im not well verse in 4e. I started a little in pathfinder and have been DM'ing most if not all in 5e so I don't have a lot of point of reference from other edition or other systems. Correct me if I'm wrong from your original post was to justify the reason why minions die in 1 hit vs other...

Interesting concept have to think about but I do like it

Had same thing happen to me with the dominate spell lol so I ttyed it again and the paladin save again lol. The yochlol was summoned by the drow priestess and the party still won lol

Never thought of that but ya seemed they where pretty bland and I figure some should have unique things depending which demon lord they follow

Sounds interesting

Tha is for the info I will check it out

True enought. The big take away is that the dm doesn't have to remember hp numbers. The other thing to is that if you want to use minions on higher level party you have to scale up there attacks and damage for 1/8 cr where it's just easier to take a higher level cr and just give them 1 hp

Ive been using minions for awhile and i can say its a great mechanic for DM's everywhere i first seen this idea on Matt Colville's channel and have been using it ever since. The only thing i'm not sure of is having minions in a fight and using the optional rule of cleave from the DMG page 272 at...

Awesome thanks for the info :)

I ran an encounter with Drow priestess and just had her summon the Yochlol and use its dominate person and the player saved afterward everything this demon did seemed lack luster and unflavorful. Ive read a good chunk of the Drizzt books and the drow priestes feared and respected the Yochlol...

Thank you I will read them up your experience will be very helpful for this Noob DM lol
