[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7799803, member: 82504"] Afflictions were an element that never got fully developed. But the disease tract is there for a DM that cares to use it. See I want immune adversaries to actually be special not a line in the Monster Manual. Like how you would tackle Grendel. The technique for enemy who requires "special weapon" or "special method" to defeat Starts with revealing the enemies impossible to defeatedness. (inducing a skill challenge escape) and having npcs as fodder to dy maybe. Followed by a miniquest/challenge to find the solution to strip the enemy of that over the topness or provide tools that will harm that specific monster (not monster type make it mysterious Grendel was enchanted by the Dragon) Followed by a battle where they discover they failed the earlier challenge and have to run again or where they win the day. because you know unarmed attacks do not count against immune to weapons after all. (or they found the ritual and gathered a hair from the beast with hit and run non-fights to reduce its perfect immunity) [/QUOTE]
