[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7163138, member: 6855234"] I appreciate the input. I intended for them to already be somewhat across the "relatively" open field when the Roc showed up in the skies. I figured it would circle them for a while giving them time to think about potential courses of action. I want to provide some cover but not TOO much cover. It's not my intention for the party to try to kill it. Not every encounter is winnable by swinging their weapon, and they're smart enough to know that. Sometimes you "win" by simply making it out alive. Yes the Fighter and Monk are capable of some pretty decent damage. As stated above. The Fighter can do 3d8+18 every round and add an extra 2d8+12 with the action surge and the Monk can do 2d8+12 + 2d6+10 with a Ki but I still don't think they could ever kill it. I don't see the Roc failing many saves especially Con or Str saves. I also want to make sure I play the Roc smartly. I figured it would swoop down, make a Talon attack against one player, and the fly off with it on a hit only using the beak attack on the grappled PC when it attempts to free itself? That sounds brutal though. [/QUOTE]
