[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 8145796, member: 55491"] I would have also ruled that dispel magic didn’t work to remove the stunned condition sure its occurred because magic was used but imo it’s not a magical effect its what happens to you if you get mind blasted - but that’s not the point. A mind flayer is a powerful foe at 7th level because it’s blast targets a saving throw that is not usually very string; and it’s the classic monster that if all goes right for it will kill a character Of about the right level. My advice as soon as you see “if a character is reduced to 0hp it dies“ or an attack that does an average damage of about 10+5xcharacter level it’s not a normal monster. The wraith is another one of these - very deadly for CR5. These monsters are rare and let’s face it the CR system needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. I still feel that on average a 7th level character is unlikely to die from this kind of attack. Don‘t stress about too much but keep an eye out for those warning signs. However one of the reasons these monsters are so dangerous is that they can remove the safety of dropping to 0hp and being still 53hp from death (in your Paladins case). [/QUOTE]
