Message: <blockquote data-quote="pukunui" data-source="post: 6722916" data-attributes="member: 54629">We faced an adult red dragon a session or two ago. It was a hard fight, but we prevailed.My PC is a fighter 2 / paladin 18. She's got +1 mithril plate, +1 guardian shield, +1 cloak of protection, and both the Defense and Dueling fighting styles. Her AC is 24. I can bump that up to 26 with shield of faith. I also have the Inspiring Leader feat, which gives us all 25 temporary hit points (her Cha is also maxed out along with her Dex). I think she's got about 170 hp of her own as well. And she's got Undying Sentinel on top of that. So she's really hard to kill.But she's also super-powerful on the offense. She does 1d8+10 slashing damage plus 1d8 radiant (or 2d8 vs fiends and undead) with each hit from her moonblade. I used to only smite if I got a crit, but now that rolling a natural 20 usually means the monster's instagibbed*, I've started using my spell slots for other things more.*My DM decided to play the moonblade like a legacy weapon, so he didn't give me all the properties at once. Instead, he's been rolling for a new one every few levels. One time, after I destroyed an empyrean, he decided it was time to roll again ... and he rolled the vorpal property (which only has a 1% chance of coming up).</blockquote>
