[QUOTE="vandaexpress, post: 6674337, member: 6790472"] I did, yeah. I'll see if I can dig it up, but off the top of my head I know that I gave him the mounted combat feat, a ring of feather fall, a shield, and a +1 Lance. I think I gave his wyvern some barding as well and the saddle that gives advantage against getting dismounted or what have you. The idea was that he's extremely skilled at aerial combat, he would ready an attack for when the wyvern got within reach of the target, then on the wyvern's turn, the wyvern would swoop down, attack with the tail (10ft reach, I think) and Othelstan would strike with the Lance as well, before pulling out of the party's reach. I found he made for a pretty terrifying opponent, especially when he enters the combat as "reinforcements" on round 2 or so, when the party has already spread out and assumed a battle formation. The party was pretty scared when they fought him, the wyvern poison is insane, and he was able to force PCs to target him instead of his wyvern thanks to his feat. They were able to bring him down by using sleet storm from Talis's wand of winter, forcing a flying creature to be prone is a fast way to drop that creature to the ground, fast. ;) [/QUOTE]
