[QUOTE="Al, post: 389816, member: 2486"] A LOT of preparation time? Just have a Bag of Holding full of the blighters, empty it out and use TK. No problem there. After the battle, put them back in the bag. As for DR, I don't believe it. Against NPC enemies, only the wizards are likely to have damage reduction, and that via Stoneskin, which is both expensive and requires him to win initiative. Magical beasts, beasts, giants, dire animals, plants, shapechangers, corporeal undead and abberations also tend not to have DR. Indeed, only elementals, outsiders, constructs and dragons regularly have DR at this level- clearly the minority in most campaigns. Your point about DR is therefore moot. Your final throwaway commment: 'the creatures this would work on...' is even more questionable. Would this trick work against, say, a cloud giant. Yes? Would this be a difficult encounter for a 9th level party. At CR 11, yes again. This is but an anecdote, but the varied list of possible threats the party could face and against which this would work is listed above. Assuming that all foes of 9th level parties have damage reduction is clearly incorrect. [/QUOTE]
