[QUOTE="Kaiyanwang, post: 5285459, member: 91656"] All of the above, barring the bolded one. I customize monsters onl in epic play, for "abominations". But those are [I]designed[/I] to be "ad-hoc". I found Hiiiigh class level humanoids, Outsiders and Dragon be great solos at high levels. Indeed, I found solos just silly. My best monster combination is 1 big and several weak, or two high mobility ones. (Higher CR, but I applied the -10/-30% experience in the DMG. pathfinder did even better because of the different advancement tables). Action economy is a bitch, but even more, the Big Bad facing a group of several powerful beings alone.. I just can't see it as reasonable. varies. Some times autowin work, sometimes not - but because this is a general feature of environment and monsters, that I think people generally overlook. But If I allow a nice thing to a player, is because I expect that the player will use it. I never found these problems. I never [I]heard [/I]of these problems before I discovered that teh internet is for other things than porn ("look! they talk about D&D here!" "porn D&D?" "No, standard D&D." "Nice. Let see.."). [B]BUT I fear we are derailing here. there is a similar thread in the pathfinder part of these boards (about spellcasters), so maybe could be better discuss there or start another thread.[/B] [/QUOTE]
