[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9257541, member: 9254"] We ran a one-shot because one player had covid and another had to work. So we made some "I've had an idea" characters at 20th level. Lots of "where's the rule on THIS power? How does THAT work" The first fight was pretty straight forward but we were far from optimal. There was a second fight very similar that we got done a bit faster.

The constructs were magic resistant and immune to necrotic & force, which messed with the sor-lock-adin. When we finally destroyed one, magmin poured out of it. The red dragonkin & magmin were immune to fire and the caster had a few defensive spells. It was a long fight as we'd try a thing, see it fail, and everyone would dig through the rules to see what they had that didn't do whatever that was. There was also a lot of "wait, I think I'm resistant to that..." bits. Still, we didn't go that slowly. One note, mounted Combat is a pretty awesome feat. Advantage a lot of the time on attacks, forces enemies to target the PC and gives the mount evasion.
