Message: <blockquote data-quote="rgoodbb" data-source="post: 7451427" data-attributes="member: 6801229">Hey folks.My 5 players will soon reach the dizzy heights of 4[SUP]th[/SUP] level and I was thinking of pitting them against a CR5 Catoblepas, (Volo’s pg 129). Its marshy swampland and entirely appropriate for both the area, and the story. Being a still relatively newbie DM, I am a tad worried that 21 damage + possible stunned each round from a tail attack, added to Death Ray’s 36 Necrotic damage (save for half or fail badly for 64 and possible insta-death) will be overkill. Quite literally. Are the damage numbers too much for 5, 4[SUP]th[/SUP] level PC’s? Or am I just an over-fretting DM who needs to grow a pair and revel in a PC death or two? Cheers for your thoughts.</blockquote>
