One of them was like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic Resistance, Legendary Resistance, the normal stuff.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Legendary Action teleport.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">31 AC at base</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Could cast Shield, Absorb Elements and Counterspell at-will</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the Rogue's Uncanny Dodge</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the Reactive ability, giving him 1 reaction per turn, instead of per round (So those spells and uncanny dodge were up all the time)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had super high saves, I think the lowest was +15.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the Avoidance ability, meaning he didn't take damage when he succeded on a save.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Had the Foresight spell passively, that was only turned off for a round if he took damage (pretty hard to do).</li> </ul>And that was only phase 1 of 3. I think we were around level 15, and did manage to beat him somehow. He was also the weakest general of the enemy faction, out of, like, six.The really crazy quests was when DMs just let players stack buffs with Glyphs of Warding, and bring summons, then it was a whole party with True Polymorph, Foresight, 9th level Aid, Simulacrum, riding Ancient Dragons, and with about fifty elementals following.Fun to play, DMing was a nightmare. I mostly stuck to low level quests.Edit: I'd say, ironically, that martials were the biggest issue at the non-insane-prep quest, at high-levels and with the homebrew weapons/boons they got, they slaughtered any monster's hp so quickly that casters didn't do as much. I had quests where my 18th level Wizard did basically nothing, DMs mostly made monsters immune to the easy caster tricks, so most of my turns were just spent on teleporting the martials to the enemy, blowing up mooks, or countering debuffs.</blockquote>
