[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 7102651, member: 40158"] Wow, chasme demons are NASTY when they crit! 22d6+2 damage, and most of it can't be easily healed! Running OotA, and a random encounter with some chasme was much more difficult than some of the scripted major boss battles like the Pudding King! First, does a PC have to save against the drone of EVERY chasme within 30 feet? A separate save? That's four saves against four chasme. I gave the party a break and just put them at disadvantage due to the multiple chasme and still half of them fell unconscious. Then two of them critted the shield guardian with the party and KILLED it, doing over 145 damage total! One grabbed the unconscious paladin and flew 60' up to the ceiling with her where it critically hit (due to her being unconscious) for enough damage to bring her to 1 hp. She was able to Misty Step and Catfall to get away with minimal damage after burning healing hands, but it buzzed down and critically hit her again -- and I think she may be dead! The necrotic damage taken is greater than her total hit points! What do I do in this situation? These are NASTY demons! [/QUOTE]
