[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 6465007, member: 61155"] Sure, but you are rarely going to run into foes that have *all* of the above. And there is usually an answer or approach that can help with each of those abilities. Throw lesser spells at something with Legendary resistance, and see if he's willing to burn an auto-save on Tasha's Hideous Laughter, or if the might Dragon wants to lose an activation to a 1st level spell?
