[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5266190, member: 78116"] Draconomicon is alright, but again Dragons often do a pretty decent job and some of the epic dragons have some really interesting mechanics. Open Grave I haven't actually ran many of the monsters out of now I think of it, except the regular creatures. I have to my regret never got to play around with Vecna, I love his action point mechanic though. Maybe I should give a few of them a try and see how they go. I do remember running the Thicket Dryad Lich. It was an absolutely terrible encounter, because I underestimated the amount of necrotic resistance my party could get. I think it took 4 rounds to bloody a PC. At the same time, she could keep them at reach with constant restrained conditions and so it was one of those combats that turned into an angry staring contest until one side (the dryad) spontaneously dropped dead of an unusual and sudden boulder to the face. It would have been better had I not macroed the monster wrong and added necrotic damage to powers that shouldn't have had it. Live and learn. [/QUOTE]
