[QUOTE="Mentat55, post: 5204139, member: 14840"] The entry points out that Lolth discorporates at 25% HP, so presumably when bloodied in Spider Queen form. That makes sense, as the form presented in the preview does not have the Discorporate ability. The lack of multiple initiative actions makes the drow form of Lolth less imposing than I was hoping for. The ability to deny one set of PC actions every round with Dominating Rebuke is pretty rough, though, and helps balance the economy of actions slightly. Poison Strands, if used properly, could tie up one or more melee PCs. Her damage seems underwhelming at first, but she does a lot of ongoing poison damage, and Lolth's Retribution means that if you are attacking her, you are going to continue to take damage. If someone has poison resistance, however (and at epic tier it would probably be in the resist 15 range), they are going to be relatively unscathed by her attacks. Her AC, Reflex, and Will are high for a level 35 lurker -- a deviation from the MM2 and Monster Builder math, but then again, she's Lolth. She doesn't seem all that lurker-ish, but solo lurkers are tough to pull off. And she's not immune to attacks from non-epic creatures -- something we've seen with every other god, I think. An interesting interpretation of the goddess -- and I am VERY curious what the Spider Queen form looks like. [/QUOTE]
