[QUOTE="Blastin, post: 4802128, member: 4989"] We played a one off scenario from Open Grave a few weeks ago. 19th level. The opening encounter was a bunch of wights that weakened (save ends) and some gargoyles that had an auto weaken aura. And all of them healed themselves on hits. That encounter sucked. The entire party was weakened the entire fight and the bad guys were healing on every hit. It took FOREVER and we used ALL of our resources on the one encounter just to survive. If I had not been playing a Cleric we would have been wiped early. So, I agree that a little bit of conditions is cool but when the monsters have synergistic effects it can make an encounter way harder than it should be. As for the stunts to grant saves, we had that one come up as well. One character was dominated and beating on another character. A third used a successful intimidate on the dominated guy, so I granted him an immediate extra save and he made it. Was a cool moment. [/QUOTE]
