[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7968471, member: 7015558"] Hi all! So I'm crafting a one-shot around a PC group that is themed around superheroes. Essentially, the PCs will be higher-level and have names like "Captain Fantastic," and "Red Lightning" that kind of stuff. But of course, every group of super heroes needs some good villains, so I've been experiencing with taking some pretty classic monsters and giving them things you really shouldn't expect them to have, like a Hobgoblin Warlord with invulnerability armor, or my latest creation, an Alhoon with 4 levels of barbarian. My "Dr. Tentaculous" is essentially a Mind Flayer "Batman Bane." So my question is, when have you taken monsters and given them class levels that people may not expect? Any combinations you think have really put your PCs on their toes? Feel free to add magic items as well. If your confused about what I'm referring to, the DMG has rules for giving "PC levels" of a class as added levels to a monster's statblock.
