[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 3824477, member: 7635"] Sure. 1.) Jozan isn't as omnipotent as his Deity and when he opens the door, and *bammo* there is a bodak in a 10x10 room guardian a undead pie. 2.) Jozan has ONE of his TWO fourth level spells (excluding domain, assuming 18 wis) dedicated to [I]death ward[/I] (the other being, I dunno, [I]Neutralize Poison[/I]) which means three out of the four members is SOL... (Target: [B]one [/B]living creature) 3.) Jozan forgot to ask "is there a bodak behind door number one?" when casting [I]augury[/I] at the door... 4.) Or doesn't have perpetual [I]"detect undead"[/I] cast (or the room has the [URL=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/detectUndead.htm]requisite thickness to avoid detection...[/URL] ) 5.) Jozan didn't read the module ahead of time to know room 22 has a bodak and a [I]+2 sword[/I] in it. (thanks Simia Saturnalia) 6.) Jozan's party doesn't believe in the 15 minute work-day and since they have the vast majority of their hp and spells, (@75%) they shoot for one more room before resting... 7.) The bodak hears the party coming (I mean +11 listen vs. two people in full plate?) and simply opens the door while Lidda is searching the door for traps and Jozan is casting his wards and buffs (and I'm sure even the 6 int, 12 wis bodak is smart enough to get the jump on people outside his chamber door) 8.) The bodak is on the wandering monster table in the front of the module. Is there another argument [B]you[/B] had in mind? ;) [/QUOTE]
