Good luck, I have 7 backup character concepts at all times
Are they all bards?
Hide behind the mountain of dead bards!
Mountain of dead bards‽
NECROMANCER:
*heavy breathing*Thank you for getting it.
Every single boss in my campaign is a leveled bard. I'm proving a point by minmaxing the shit out of them, but they are all legal characters. My players are gonna hate it when every boss reveal starts with a Broadway musical. My favorite is a bard with some druid spells, a speed potion, and a couple other secrets making his base speed 120. Add in tree stride, and the party will never know from what direction he will strike. High dex means high ac and a finesse weapon. Get in, strike, get out. Plenty of attacks of opportunity for the players, so it's not completely cheesing. I could give him a ranged weapon but that tastes like cheese. I want the players to have an actual hard fight with a chance to win. All this, all of it, was because my wife asked me to make a bard boss and I ran with it.
That cheesy dashing in & out sounds great until one player has the Sentinel feat and is right after the boss in the turn order 😛
Oooohohohoho that's a fun feat. That would make the encounter much more interesting
IIRC there are some area effect spells that damage you more, the more you move.
I can bring whole cities to ruin, and still have time to get a soft-shoe in...
What in the Scott Pilgrim...
They better get a vicious mockery that is just giggling
Damn that's good, gonna do that too
