[QUOTE="Bad Paper, post: 3029377, member: 24674"] Perfect sense, when (spoiler text) [COLOR=Black]a fiend has been pumping your blood for a thousand years. Remember: the halvsies-templates go both ways...[/COLOR] And I cannot imagine how you would run the encounter the way you suggested. That's just bonkers. If you are going to allow the symbiont to participate and damage the PCs, then (via the two-way-street rule) you have to allow the PCs to inflict damage on the symbiont. Here's another thing to remember! The whoooooooole macguffin for this adventure is (spoiler text) [COLOR=Black]the offscreen fiendish lord pulling strings, not some do-goody "let's kill Ashardalon" hook. I don't think that offscreen NPC wants the symbiont damaged, though I can't remember the specifics.[/COLOR] PS: I have told my players to avoid this thread (we aren't starting BoBS until winter, at least), but you never know who is lurking around here... I have already switched NPCs' names, so any player with foreknowledge will be like, "huh? [b]That[/b] person is Nurn?" [/QUOTE]
