[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5449782, member: 63"] Woot. Glad to see my drow pantheon getting some work. That sounds like a really cool fight. I think I'm going to steal the Potency poison idea when I run Lolth against my party in a couple weeks. We had to take a hiatus because of the holidays, then the Atlanta ice storm, and now the Superbowl. We just did part two, with the party fighting Ghaunadaur and Kiaransalee. I don't think my party is [i]nearly[/i] as min-maxed as yours (though they do have a warlord whose epic power keeps anyone from dying due to negative hitpoints as long as he can see them). Four of five PCs are built to just never die. They all have ridiculous Constitution scores, or weird tricks when they hit negatives, or huge recharging pools of temporary hit points. Then there's the sorcerer, who has 7 healing surges, and who has been reduced to negatives once each in the two fights so far. I'm expecting him to die horribly in the fight against Lolth. A Revenant Swordmage is the most obnoxious defender I could ever imagine. What do you mean, you're at negative 80 hit points but you're still fighting? Not only that, you're insubstantial and have resist 30 all? I was so thankful I gave Kiaransalee a power that straight-up lets her knock a PC unconscious for a round. Still, even after he killed Ghaunadar and was cursed with ongoing 35 acid damage (no save; it lasts 'til the end of the encoutner) he still didn't die. But soon they'll face Lolth. And I plan to make her more annoying than the Swordmage. I need to write up that stat block and post it. [/QUOTE]
