[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 4560846, member: 16221"] Tiamat gets a standard + minor action per head, and each head gets a separate initiative, prerolled by the statblock even! Each head also gets a separate action point. I'm not sure how movement is handled. I guess any head can forgo its standard for a move action. There's also an additional ability that when all heads have acted, she can use a combined attack. It definitely looks to me like each head does full damage. It also gives a standard template for all deities. They always get a saving throw against effects and ongoing damage, even if the ability says otherwise. They auto-know supernal. They auto-escape at bloodied (so that's not just a tiamat thing as was implied by Ltheb). They can't be effected by anyone level 19 or lower. I'm not sure I like that last one as written... on the other hand, I think it goes well with the earlier idea of making all immortals immune to ABILITIES below a certain tier (in order to counteract abilities that don't scale well). But if a level 1 peon grabs an epic sword of awesomeness, I think that should count for something. EDIT: Ooh! I just noticed an awesome thing about Tiamat! Each head is dazed/stunned SEPARATELY. And combined with her +5 saving throws, keeping her from doing what she wants will be nigh-impossible. [/QUOTE]
