[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 331083, member: 259"] ?? As I posted above, there are several tactics that wizards and clerics can use against this thing. The fighter is gonna be in serious trouble if she goes against it without backup: most fighters aren't gonna make the will save necessary to prevent possession, and once they're possessed, they'll start attacking their allies. "I swing, I hit" is a very bad tactical approach to this critter. I think it could lead to a cinematic fight and would force the PCs to use some tactics they've not given much thought to. In fact, my major problem with it is a problem it shares with many critters: flying archers will have a very easy time against it, considering its relatively slow speed and its lack of any ranged attack. Its best bet against flying archers is to sink into the ground and come back later in an ambush. I'll also point out that if this thing were a construct or a plant, it would have exactly the same invulnerablities as it currently has. Does SKR have the same problems with Iron Golems as he has with this critter? Daniel [/QUOTE]
