Trouble with Marilith Treasure

[orion90000]

I've googled this and came back empty. In the Marilith's treasure entry it says "plus 1d4 magic weapons". What level weapons are these? minor, medium, major? Must they automatically be large weapons wielded by the Marilith?

Roll on tables 7-9 and 7-14 in the DMG to randomly generate them. Or just pick a couple of neat properties. Like....Bane: PCs.

Yeah, I know how to do that. What I meant was: are magic weapons "minor", "medium", or "major" and are they supposed to be Large since the Marilith is Large?

I've decided to just use random "medium" weapons unless someone can give me a better justification.

The weapons are large because the Marilith is large. A large longsword is what deals 2d6 damage. If you are comfortable with just ruling the Marilith can wield medium greatswords as large longswords without the -2 to hit, that will mean more treasure options for the PCs.

Full Attack: Primary longsword +25/+20/+15/+10 melee (2d6+9/19-20) and 5 longswords +25 melee (2d6+4/19-20) and tail slap +22 melee (4d6+4); or 6 slams +24 melee (1d8+9) and tail slap +22 melee (4d6+4)

As to what the weapons are, minor is the better choice since magical weapons are expensive.

And don't forget to use the Maralith's Spell like abities. Using project image to spam blade barriers and to fling people through those barriers with Telekinesis. Don't forget to keep unholy aura up.

When in melee, try to use the tail slap on scrawny looking foes OR take the -20 to grapple without being considered grappled if others are around. You need the victim to fail the fort save to go unconscious otherwise the Maralith will have her options somewhat limited.
