[QUOTE="Ltheb Silverfrond, post: 4559422, member: 39867"] Tiamat's stats were, IMO, pretty interesting. One of the things they flat-out say is that deities break the rules (hence her 5 headed nature). I haven't seen any playtest logs or anything to confirm if her stats are accurate, but she looks really tough. (If only because against a slow party, she could get several turns in a row in the first round of combat) Tiamat's discorporation is somewhat like the 4E Tarrasques' Get-out-of-death-free-card. Unless you fullfil the plot-device requirement for the game, you can't get her past bloodied. (She escapes. Period.) If ever a solo-writeup comes about for the abominations, I hope that a discorporation-like ability is added in; It adds flavor and, while it is really a non-ability (since unless the PC party is bumbling around the multiverse, it's likely they will research and complete the extra task BEFORE confronting the monster), it assuredly takes the monster off random encounter tables (or puts the fear of god(s?) into the PCs:)) and makes the monster more interesting than HP/Defenses/Attacks.
