[QUOTE="tennesay, post: 4976260, member: 80335"] The reason the encounter was so easy was that we all built characters designed to abused certain features except for the warlock who made the mistake of starting way too close to Tiamat and got dominated round one. As for not losing a single character, we nearly lost the warlock due to him being dominated and unable to heal himself from taking 50 damage a round. Tiamat didn't have a chance to engage the Ranger because the ranger started about really far away from Tiamat from the upstart. On the flip side my ranger was simply by game mechanics unable to die or fall unconscious and the dwarf battle rager was just that a dwarf battlerager who resisted 9 damage created temp HP every turn nearly negating Tiamat's aura. Additionally the person playing Tiamat wasn't our usual dm so she probably didn't abuse the complete awesomeness of Tiamat. As for the terrain it was a canyon. A few boulders scattered about and no traps just Tiamat and the party. In retrospect if we face the next deity in line we are definitely going to seal in the encounter area and most of us are not going to be playing super ranged characters. Also we negated Tiamat's villain of the week plot device escape mechanism for the fight. This was not part of a story but rather a simple proof of concept were we take on the biggest and baddest monsters currently released. We started with Orcus who turned out to be a push over and jumped right to Tiamat. [/QUOTE]
