[QUOTE="Malum, post: 2963043, member: 39429"] About a week ago I was speaking with a fellow DM about his upcoming Cltuthlu esk’ campaign. He told me his players had pc’s that were very very tough for there level (7th & 8th). They have appropriate magicals for the level, good spell selection and very good melee capability and were basically mowing thru the CR rating modules and campaigns he had them in, sometime half of them taking little to no damage at all. He stressed to me that he wanted to have a BBEG at the end of his current campaign that would really challenge his players. Well in hindsight he says asking me to design the last room of the campaign was a mistake and he feels terrible over the TPK as do the players who were angry frustrated and ultimately with all dead pc’s. Large room with a 15’ loft at far end and prison cages as he explained to me all over the floor. Up on this loft he originally had an Orc a bugbear and something else. I changed it to an old venerable Beholder with only his main eye working and 1 eye stalk with limited Telekinesis. I put a Frenzied Bezerker to melee the pc’s below. The cages were just traps the Beholder would try to trigger with his TK. I removed all other monsters just left a couple of them with spikes. The party combated this Bezerker who absolutely cleaned their clock. The party was hitting him over and over until they all fell TPK. was I over the top? Malum [/QUOTE]
