[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 9824953, member: 326"] Well, it's been a while since I checked Nezha's stat-block, but he should only have 1 attack (Level 20 Rogue), hypothetically he could be Hasted of course, but he only gets the sneak attack bonus once. If he is +12 Challenge Rating, he gets 4 Reactions. Averaging 6d8 per Reaction. So Longspear = d10, if it's +3 damage is 4d10, +3 Flaming = 4d10 piercing + 2d10 fire, Demigod dice multiplier x3 so 12d10 piercing + 6d10 fire = 99 average. that is technically a +5 weapon (+3, and Flaming +1, and Returning +1). Average damage dice for a CR 24 Demigod is 36d8 = 162 + Average 27 per Reaction. Not sure how you are getting those numbers. 60 Hit Dice Monster Multi-attack = 60% of Hit Dice = 36 dice in this case (Average d8s); therefore, it's 3 attacks average 12d8 each Reactions = 10% each = 6 dice each, average 6d8 Breath Weapon = 50% of Hit Dice in d8s. Therefore Dragon multiattack averages 168 + 27 per Reaction. Challenge rating 24 should (IMO) deal an average 210 damage in my opinion. Although depending on the number of Reactions (which are spread among different attackers) that would be more like 195-276. 1. He should only get 1 melee attack (unless hasted) 2. Reactions are spread across different attackers. He cannot take two Reactions against the same target. I agree the damage is high (and indeed there seems some miscommunication in the stat-block somewhere if you are thinking Nezha, does 600+ per round). that's why I also added each use of Legendary Resistance costs a Reaction AND also -1 to Proficiency Bonus until after a long rest. casters also get the same multiplier as martials. necessary evil though until someone comes up with a better solution. the new Damage Threshold mechanic is Hit Dice x0.3. So Nezha would have Damage Threshold 18 Agreed Thanks, I'll look into it. As I said in the Update, that's not the final version of Thor. thanks amigo. seems there is some confusion on the damage. But I am sure we will get to the bottom of it. Not sure how you are getting those numbers for Nexus and the dragon. Maybe I have not explained it well enough in the stat block [/QUOTE]
