[QUOTE="Akira Whitlock, post: 7804323, member: 6897828"] To challenge my party i have looked out at references other rpgs have done. In world of warcraft bosses are killed by acting a certain way and doing small tasks to prevent the boss from instant killing the party. Some things i have done is to make it so certain monsters have incredibly high AC and have the ability Perfect Defense making them impossible to hit for my melee gods. While these monsters are running around the field i have others that are immune to magic and have high saves but reasonable AC. Other ideas i have thrown out there are summoned minions that after 3 rounds will heal a boss by 50% HP. I use various interactions between the enemies to challenge my party and keep it interesting. Or i just slap a bunch of fun abilities on a boss and give it lots of minions flying by the seat of my pants. We enjoy the number games, we are number lawyers and we enjoy playing characters that fit a strange niche that works with party combat. [/QUOTE]
