Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 9539193" data-attributes="member: 8461">In terms of overall combat power, this guy has a lot of defenses that I suspect will frustrate a CR 2 party. For instance, melee characters that aren't dedicated martials, especially if Strength isn't a primary attribute for them (e.g. rogues and monks), will likely find this guy's AC a bit tough. Likewise, few martials will have a cold iron weapon, so that DR will probably soak up a lot of damage unless someone gets a few lucky crits.Likewise, expect the spell resistance to eat up a lot of direct magical attacks, though those saves mean that those that get through have a decent chance of having full effect. Personally, I'm not sure he needs those particular feats, but giving him stronger ones could make him tougher than expected.His spell-like abilities could really confound a party, though. Blink has the potential to interfere with his own attacks, but he's not much of an attacker anyway, so that matters less than how much it hinders the PCs. Likewise, using darkness in an underground environment (which is their listed environment), which is usually an area of bad illumination anyway, means that there's a good chance he'll have concealment as well if the PCs don't have darkvision.Also, its blindsight says its "affected normally" by sound-based attacks. I'm not sure what that means; do they ignore his spell resistance? Does he take +50% damage from sonic attacks? It's not clear to me.</blockquote>
