[QUOTE="Spibb, post: 5618089, member: 87912"] I run a group of four 16th level characters. I have a controlling focused bard, a dps warlock, a dps barbarian, and a defender-controller (slowing and sliding) fighter. I have an important plot point for the campaign I run coming up wherein the players encounter a black fire dracolich. This monster has a heavy focus on stunning the players, especially those who fight in melee because of it's ability "mesmerizing glare" which reads as follows: [LEFT][I]Mesmerizing Glare (immediate interrupt, when an enemy makes a melee attack against the dracolich; at-will) !
