It's basic concept is that it's an expert tracker that relentlesly hunts down its target, as with the terminator: "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Sooner or later, the PCs will have to go toe-to-toe with it.You might want to reread what was actually posted. I wasn't suggesting that the monster must be killed to get XP. I suggested that the monster is normally fought to the death when WotC designers run playtests to check the Challenge Rating. For what it's worth, I completely agree that full XP should be awarded for bypassing a monster, and have run it that way since 1st edition.I'd say a +3 wounding greataxe is pretty darn good equipment for a 10th level PC or a 15th level NPC.</blockquote>
