[QUOTE="mellored, post: 9455436, member: 6801209"] Fair. Though it's still a good tactic for many. 1,044.5 *0.5 = 522.25 (+ crits). So get a crit, and you should be good. Or the rest of your party may need to do something. And all rangers now get Blindsight at level 18. So he can join in the darkness party. Or any other way of scouting. But Gloomstalker fits the party theme better IMO. 5 Dex + 12 Expertise in stealth + 10 PWT = +27 stealth. So yea, automatic wins. So stand up. Prone isn't a problem. It can't fly as a reaction, and has +0 initiative. It is possible (though unlikely) it will get a turn to go and blast you. But that's what Mind Sharpener is for. And the monk can ready a dash when needed. The dragons best bet is to hit the Artificer to get Haste to drop, though she has Flash of Genius + Con saves + Warcaster. 3 other characters who still have all their actions and the majority of their spells / resources. I'm only using a scout, 2 pre-cast concentration slots (Gloomstalker can swap to hunterd mark after initive), and a monk bonus action. Maybe add a Trickster cleric with Bless as the 5th. It is deadly for a party of 4. And I am using a level 8 spell. Multi classed to much to get 9th. And this party at level 16 still has a solid chance of killing the dragon before it goes. And keep in mind, CME is a 10 minute spell. So you can possibly get multiple encounters out of it. Just a EB + quicken EB should be able to take out half the enemies. [/QUOTE]
