However, I think there is some streamlining we can do on this one.1) First note, that low wisdom save can be very painful for such a high CR. For example, the slow spell (upcasted to 4th) would cripple this things offense into the dirt, now it could use unstoppable of course but than that means its parry is offline, and without that its AC is pretty "mundane" at that point.But...that is a creative use of tactics so maybe that's just how you beat such a creature. Bestow Curse would also be very painful for it (which leads to an interesting question....can unstoppable remove a curse....even one that normally requires a specific spell to be rid of?).I may be overthinking this.... I always assume that against such monsters the Party will literally have any spell in the book (either they have it, they find another high level buddy to cast it, they have a super scroll of it, etc)....and I never want to see such epic creatures become a breeze because of it...but unstoppable does help deal with a lot of that so maybe I'm overthinking the impact.2) How do area attacks work against multiple limbs? Does it not work at all, do i destroy tons of heads in a single fireball?3) The colossal trait has adjacent creatures making a dexterity save against its attacks, and since this thing gets so many that could force lots and lots and LOTS of saves. My suggestion would be, to simply apply the attack roll result to adjacent creatures, and then you hit and or miss as normal. Much quicker to run in game.4) Parry and Multiple Limbs: Again we have a scenario where not only do I have to remember to parry, but then I have to track all of that damage across my various multiple limbs, which is just a lot of DM headache. So I would recommend a few changes:a) For multiple limbs, simply have it that the limbs have 1 hp (but of course you still have to get through thick hide and the invulnerable to non-magic non-adamantine weapons). Now realistically, you have to kill a lot of limbs before a normal party will start seeing the benefits, so might as well make it easy.b) Have parry either just work, or have it automatically take a limb out. No muss no fuss.c) Let regenerate either heal 30 hp, or 1dX limbs grow back.5) I would make parry a straight +10 AC. Yes that's a little bit outside of the math, but its easier to remember (AC 20 and 30), and frankly....it sounds cooler to players. When they hear the creature currently has a 30! AC....well that means something. Yes a 29 is badass but 30 is just so much cooler sounding.</blockquote>
