Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anubis" data-source="post: 771085" data-attributes="member: 2358">Re: Sounds like an outlier to me...Okay, there were six Level 20 Human Adepts.  It was a standard combat, and I posted a lot of the variable stats above.  Like I said, this is an expert group playing here.  Vampire, Wizard, Half-Dragon Rogue, and Bard.Anyway, in the first round, the Vampire got a couple good hits, nothing big.  The Wizard cast I think Haste and a spell that required a Will Save at DC 24 or so, and the Adept made the save.  Two of the Adepts cast Stoneskin, and two others cast Lightning Bolt.  The Vampire didn't take much damage, but the Wizard got hit twice and was taken down to under 10, and the Rogue avoided with Evasion.  This is when the battle turned around.One of the Adepts cast Polymorph Other on the Rogue, he missed his save, and was turned into a Toad.  The Bard tried to use Dispel Magic, but against DC 31, that was pretty futile.  Next round, the Vampire hacked and slashed some more, and the Wizard cast a couple of instant death spells that didn't work.  One required a Will save and the other the Adept rolled a 20.  The Adepts go again, and use Polymorph Other on the Bard this time, turning her into a Toad as well.Anyway, the Vampire was still doing okay, but the Wizard was about dead.  It took three Adepts with Polymorph Other, but they finally turned the Wizard into a Toad as well, then fried her with Lightning Bolt.  All of them used Polymorph Self to change into Fire Giants, and the Vampire was soon down to like 11.  Anyway, after that, all the Adepts had Stoneskin on as well.Anyway, the Vampire used Heal to stop the Wizard from dying, picked her up, and carried her out.  For the first time ever, I got use out of the Hide skill as the Vampire hid next to the building.  The other two Toads got out, but the Adepts were looking for the Vampire anyway.  Next round, the Vampire took Dire Wolf form and got the heck outta there.Like I said, PULVERIZED.  The PCs had NO CHANCE.They DID get revenge, a bit later, however, by using Control Weather to level the city with an F5 Tornado, but that's another story . . .</blockquote>
