[QUOTE="Mike Myler, post: 7762619, member: 6726030"] [SIZE=6]Muahahaha![/SIZE] Glad folks are digging this one! I'm a much bigger fan of the ramped up super-Dracula than the classical version--although we may yet see Nosferatu (or something like it) because that B&W freakiness is right up my alley. [LIST] [*]Dracula there definitely has the Charm ability under his ACTIONS. [*]Summons - A party of four 20th level characters treats 5-6 Vampire Spawn as an Easy encounter, 7 as a Medium encounter, and 8 as a Hard encounter. The swarms and dire wolves are largely for cinematic purposes, it's the vampire spawn hordes that will mess things up and give him time to reboot (regen/bite/death wave) hit points. [*]Blue - Kick things off with [I]greater invisibility[/I] and two vampire spawn summons. Let the PCs think they're just dealing with a mass vampire attack, burn down some of their resources, and get somebody charmed before kicking on [I]greater invisibility [/I]again. Between fewer actors and more combatants, he should scare the bejeezus out of a party until they can get their footing and whittle him down some. [*]Bite damage healing on Short Rest - No magical healing for it means that in order to have a prolonged battle with Dracula the party would have to take long rests which I dunno about you but 80% of my characters would be like "f#$% no where's the exit?" [*]Sunlight - Dracula has 430 hit points (almost 5 minutes of outside time) and can make everything in a mile radius dark as night. [*]Bite - He can bite as a Legendary Action which is the game's way of handing out extra action economy to monsters. Note he can grab somebody with the unarmed strike (and, probably provoking a few attacks, grab and bite two people in the same round). [*][I]Fireball [/I]- [URL="https://mikemyler.com/2018/10/29/final-fantasy-i-black-mage-dd-5e/"]Because[/URL] (really though as commented by several folks, it's become a thing associated with super-Draculas) [*][I]Castlevania[/I] - My wife just got back from a trip the other day and I've not yet seen "Season 2" (a ridiculous fallacy because "Season 1" was clearly the setup for the first half of a season story arc) so [B][U][I]NO SPOILERS[/I][/U][/B].
