If you are going up against Tiamat then you can get some elemental resistance effects to help counterattack when she unleashes 5 breath attacks. If its by surprise then there are usually some mitigating factors that you can do.If its literal save or die then not only do I not put it in my game, I think its lazy writing/planning. There is nothing tense or story compelling about a floating skull with gems sitting there then oh dave failed his save his soul is devoured. or a wizard fight and oomph you got a power word kill coming your way vs the other couple dozen choices they could have made.Course the demi lich was created for the sole purpose of being a 4 hour tournament meat grinder so who cares! Those can be fun but are different then a regular campaign.</blockquote>
