Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wik" data-source="post: 4196664" data-attributes="member: 40177">Skinwalkers are pretty cool, but they are responsible for two of the PC deaths in my group.Around the time, the PCs were 10th level or so, and I pulled the skinwalkers from a later adventure in a sidequest I had written.  One of hte PCs, a phanaton warmage with the boots of levitation, made it a point to levitate up, and then glide in circles around enemies while blasting them with rays.We ran the fight, and the PCs were doing well (it was five PCs against five CR 6 foes, and a CR 8 Demon or something).  The demon went down fast, and things were looking good for the players.Until two skinwalkers started using poisoned bows against the war mage.  They hit for 20 points of damage or so, but the poison dropped the warmage's con by 3 points, which meant he lost another 20 HP.  Which knocked him to just below zero.He had his levitation effect turned off, so he could glide.  But, now that he was unconscious, he fell.  Forty feet.  Dead phanaton.After that, the skinwalkers were able to take out the group's cleric through a swarming tactic, and the fact that the cleric had foolishly (and in character) tried to protect the phanaton's body (the skinwalkers were going to steal it).  Three hits, all with poison, knocked the cleric's con to 6 or so.  And, once poisoned, it's harder to resist further poisons...Dead cleric.That was a fun fight.  <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=":)" /></blockquote>
