[QUOTE="Pinotage, post: 1785413, member: 15194"] Toast? Really? That's a staggering amount of hp, and the SR means that most 11th level casters are going to have a hard time getting a spell to work. Coupled with the huge damage capability (7 attacks - if all hit, it's 68 hp average a round). I know the AC is low so it'll be smacked by most fighters, but that can be remedied with some coral armor and combat expertise. It's attack bonus is high enough that it'll hit AC 30 regularly, even with a few points on Power Attack. Taking Power Attack +3 on 7 attacks is an extra 21 hp damage. That could take a fighter out in one round on average damage of 89 hp alone, and it still has +19/+17 to hit. With Spell Absorption it can use spells that failed against its SR to gain enhancement bonuses to stats, extra hp, extra speed etc. I think it's a pretty decent encounter. Probably on the tough side. :) Taking the Ranger class will up the CR and probably make it too tough. It's an underwater fight, so it has its own perils. Very good suggestion so far!
