[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9726644, member: 6716779"] After some advice on a this NPC. Intended role. Elite Bhaalist assassins that lair in Baldurs Gate and guard Bhaal's Avatar. Bhaals Avatar will probably be a buffed version of this. Its probably proficient in to many saves but Ive been having Reapers of Bhaal and CR8 assassins getting wrecked by wisdom saves and the alert feat (7 were shut down to hold person spells across 2 casters). Bhaal himself may be proficient in lots of saves. Thoughts on the CR of this however? Overtuned, to weak? How I built It. I took the CR 8 assassin from the 5.5 MM. Added Reaper of Bhaal abilites from Descent into Avernus. Added an extra attack and +2d6 poison damage per attack and adjusted the numbers for CR 13. Aura of Murder and unstoppable, stunning gaze and shroud self are from DoA and versions of them are in BG3.
