[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7925074, member: 93670"] Or even ask "well.. gee mister mayor we really want to work for you, but it seems like five guys in platemail are an odd choice to clear out the rustmonster nest in your iron mine..." Heck even "we can take care of your cursed artifact... but your gonna need to put down a bunch up front so we can buy some[URL='https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Ghost_Touch_(Armor_Enhancement)'] ghost touch armor[/URL] * & some [URL='https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/restorationGreater.htm']potions[/URL]. Luckily as the king I bet you've been planning this for a while & have some guys who can just make it if they didn't already your majesty" Yes hose wraiths will put the fear of god in certain builds, but those same builds are going to shrug off the skeleton archers & whatnot putting the feat of god in other builds. * Yes you could find/buy/make ghost touch armor, but as a +3 enhancement bonus you probably didn't have +3 ghost touch platemail & +3 ghost touch (tower)shield for an ac of nat20 or not my problem so then some stuff pretty far south of things like lich mummy lord & so on are an actual point of consideration. Lets be honest though, it's a team game & needs a mix of classes. Just having an npc mention wraiths or whatever can make heavy armor types say "hmm maybe I'll wear that ghost touch splint we found instead of my +3 adamantine plate of invulnerability". A team of all arcane casters will get mutilated by skeleton archers too spread out for fireball & die the second their spell slots run out if they even make it that far. Also why is this GM throwing the wraith temple at this party of 7 plate wearing fighters? [/QUOTE]
