The critter I mentioned building up a while back got its fight last night... And this monster (Horned Devil advanced to 21 HD and Huge size - CR 20) absolutely mopped the floor with the party. It should have been within their realm of defeating, by the CR numbers, but the rolls made it untouchable, extremely heavy-hitter and all-around death machine. It would've been TPK if I hadn't thrown Plot and Deus Ex Machina at it (realized only after 7 rounds of meat grinder, 3 or so of which it spent out of the fight, tempting and taunting the PCs).The little bit you used him for did fit his reactions, so I don't mind. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yep, prepared only. The reasoning may have had to do with the Sor's spell slots, while preparation-casters would expend their battle spells, while having to keep slots filled with utility and buff spells. A Pearl would let them recover one of those battle spells and keep on going.Emphasis mine. I agree it was an odd choice to limit it to just them, when it's a Core item. Similarly odd are a number of rules clauses (like Rogue's not being allowed to Sneak Attack if they can't see clearly - shadowy illumination - one of the chief ways Rogue is capable of setting up a Sneak Attack).</blockquote>
