And I want to feature creatures native to that plane. Of course I can use "axiomatic" creatures, but there are only few creatures truly unique to this plane. So I am likely to use Bladeling, Mhorg, Justicator and Rust Dragon.Planar Dragons are very unique and interesting. But Rust Dragon's breath ability makes me nervous. If it uses the rusting breath, PCs must roll saves for all the metallic items they are wearing or holding, right? I guess it will ruin so many important magic items the PCs have and the party will suffer almost Irrecoverable financial damages.On the other hand, if I warn the existence of such monster before they go to Acheron and they prepare for it (say, every character wearing Gauntlet of Rust), the creature become suddenly mediocre. And such warning maybe, somewhat unnatural.Am I missing something? Or are there any way to make this encounter an interesting challenge, and not a totally frustrating one?</blockquote>
