And why the wizard should be tossing fireballs and lightning bolts at the creature from a distance. And why the party needs to stay generally away from it unless it can only get off one attack.The Girallon is a fine CR5 monster, as it will drain a party's resources -- but not wipe them out. With a rogue, a wizard, a cleric, and a fighter, the guy's nothing more than a tough physical customer. Charm him, hold him, slow him, ranged attack him -- he can't touch you and he's meat in a matter of rounds.Not every monster problem should be solved by going up next to it and hitting it on the head until it dies. Sure, a CR5 Fey may be the perfect victim of that, but a big four-armed gorilla? You expect it to hit like a pansy little elf?! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
