[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5276037, member: 65637"] Two things: You literally cannot identify a medusa until it's turned you to stone. You can rant until your blue in the face about how DMs should spare SoDs for only super dramatic foretold enemies, but in those cases, the SoD is just a plot device, not a game mechanic. As for the "difficulty" part of being heroic, BS. Let's say you make a boss who just instant kills you 5/6 times he attacks. Wow, that'd be a really challenging level, and I'm sure it would be really exciting to beat it, but does that make it heroic? Or cool? Or fun? Or interesting? [I]No.[/I] You seem to be under this extremely [B]bizarre[/B] idea that SoDs constitute as challenge. It doesn't. Playing rocket tag isn't challenging, it's just "which initiative won" or "how far in advance did you plan." Challenge isn't a wizard that can just one shot you half the time, challenging is an enemy that does enough damage to keep you on your toes, and takes enough damage to keep the combat going. In a combat where you can [I]shift tactics[/I] due to how the fight is going. You can't do that with SoDs. Stop this garbage about "wizard boo boo," or the hilariously passive aggressiveness. It doesn't help your point to make things stupid and needlessly polarized, it just makes you look...well, like someone who needs to be passive aggressive and spew out garbage to feel superior to others. If the only way you can imagine a challenge is by just killing off PCs without giving them much of a chance, you have the problem, not the game. Oh, and stop spouting garbage about heroes when you've been disproven every time you open your gob about it. And change your sig, too, it's embarrassing.
