After all, the shadows' strength drain attack reduces fighter-types' ability to, well, fight. That strength drain is bad news, especially if the party's healer has to keep burning spell slots to prevent the fighter from dying from strength drain while they're under attack by something that's damaging hps, too. Regardless, the guy who was in the combat says it was a tough combat. I don't see any reason not to take him at his word on that.</blockquote>
