[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 6983673, member: 6801228"] Flinds epitomize the monster that should be party of a large group. Looking at the warband composition chart in the gnoll section, if the players just directly confront a band that contains a flind you're looking at 2d4+2 Fangs (average 6) 2d4+2 Hunters (Average 6) 4d4 Gnawers (Average 8) 12d6 Gnolls (Average 48) 8d6 Hyenas (Average 28) The Flind A shoosuva Which is an average of almost 100 combatants. Obviously this will be broken up into sections instead of a single big fight, but a fight with just the leadership and some mooks is going to have the party outnumbered. Then the Flind hits one guy with Paralysis. That means every attack with advantage, and auto-crits. With everything having at least 2 attacks if not more? And may the gods help them if for some reason there is a pack lord as well, who can incite rampage to get everything within 30 ft making a free reaction attack. This is a brutal, fortuantely there is an out for a party, since most of the creatures are low cr so an AOE is going to cause massive damage, but I don't think this is an easy encounter no matter what.
