I was thinking of that one for strength; but I don’t know if they require strength saves. I couldn’t really think of else for strength though
An Immovable Rod and an egotistical Barbarian.
“Roll Athletics.
“23.”
“Roll a Con Save.”
“14?”
“As you strain to move this mysterious bar, heaving with everything you have and more, you feel something move. But not in your hands, the bar remains unpersuaded. You feel it in your back. You have herniated a disc in your lumbar spine. Your career as an adventurer is over.”
Nothing a cure moderate wounds couldn't fix tbh
That won’t fix the 10d10 Pride Damage
Probably something like kobolds for dex, due to their heavy use of traps. Strength could be something doing a lot of potentially breakable grapple checks. Con could be a lot of things, probably something poisonous. Wis could be a lot of things too, but for fun let's say something that can kill you quickly if you fail to notice it in time, like rot grubs or green slime. Cha could be a court magistrate who wants you executed unless you can talk your way out of it. lol
Mostly basing these off the 3.5 ruleset incidentally. Older editions used to be a lot more deadly, overall.
I like kobolds for dex! The issue with grapplers is they can be contested by strength or dex. I couldn’t really think really think of anything where if you fails strength check; you are in a really really bad place
Banshee for con? Their wail instakill (dc13) mechanic is bad enough that I've never run banshees against my players
That’s a great one!
fully agree on intellect devourers
one of my favorite characters ever got killed by one right in the classic brain eating way.
he had 5 int, gotta love rolling for stats
