Look at all it's stats, sit back, and really, really think about it before putting it in your adventure. I got VERY close calls. A few weeks back, I put a Sirrush (CR 24) against a level 25 party. After the first round of combat, I looked at the monster's stats more closely, and said outloud "sorry, I think I really farked up good this time. I have NO idea how you'll get out of this one...". However, the next attack the PC did forced the critter to save v.s. massive damage. No fudging, I rolled a 1 on it's Fort save. I was soooo relieved. If not, it was a guaranteed TPK. From then on, I was very careful about what I throw at the party. Very. Even then, very few combats are a cakewalk. I love epic gaming.</blockquote>
