Help Me Make an Awesome Character for Lair Assault (Spoilers)

Also like the idea of a Magic Missile Wizard, with Leather armor proficiency...you could get armor of breaching and with the Daily of magic missile as a minor action once per round, you could deal auto 90 dmg a round on Vel...throw in you action token, and you could kill him by the end of the 3rd round if you had a party of 5 of these guys...

Lots of "what ifs" could happen to this group though, it's pretty much run to room with cracked floor and teleport through the door, and open up on Vel...even if you lost one you could kill him in 4 rounds...

I haven't tried this one, but I want to...I think you'd need to surprise the DM on this...if they knew the plan it may end poorly for the wizards.

It must have been a room of minions. Without minions, the PCs would outnumber the NPCs (shy of traps) based on how many monsters the DM is allowed to place. Course, a DM could pull monsters from other rooms.

Agree, I have yet to see a DM use the minion option, and I've played it 4 times. Most parties that I've seen the minions would have been a waste (likely) cuz the party deals so much "splash" damage they would have dropped with no real planning.

But I'd know what the minions are...maybe for lairs they'd have a twist to do burst dmg themselves when they die to simply give more dmg to the party.
