[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9154224, member: 23751"] A few corner case monsters do not an issue make. I mean, a Rakshasa is immune to spells under 7th level and has advantage on saves over that. It's CR 13 and can be encountered below 13th level where a full party of casters would have no way to hurt it at all. Even if they are 13th level, they have exactly 1 spell each that they can use and it has advantage on any saves. :) It's okay to make an incredibly easy game a bit more challenging. I also dislike how the game treats strength differences. So there are monsters that give casters a lot of hassle, and monsters that do the same to martials. Once in a while it's okay to use one against a group that can't win against it. Not all encounters need to be winnable or should be fought. The martials can use persuasion to negotiate with the manticores and even the lich. [/QUOTE]
