Alrighty, humor me, a bit of backstory before my problem:
Characters are lvl 30-ish
Players are lvl10
now let me explain. At the fault of the DM (myself), My players have treated every battle as "How manyy Charge attacks does it take to kill this one?"
And its worked.
Then I thought they were OP, came here, found out my monsters suck.
Sooooo.
Hit em with Master of the Hunt and 5 hounds.
TPK in 3 rounds, not even fair.
So i gotta teach my players to catch up to their characters
(anyone else ever have this problem?)
Actual question:
I'm building something to chase them through the new undead-filled ancient deserted metropolis they're in.
I want something scary, that any moment could come crashing down on them.
Idea so far:
A pack(6-12) of Ghast-like Chokers, really just advanced Ghasts with Choker quickness.
Evolved Undead, Spellstitched and Swarmshifter templates.
Basically, a massive Swarm of Houseflies (not optimal but good fluffwise) appears, characters react, then it one by one starts swirling into these crazy-quick ghasts of doom.
important note:
MY PARTY HAS NEITHER A MAGE OR A UMD ROGUE, AND AREN'T OVERLY OPTIMIZED
Any critiques, comments, ideas?
Edit: Moral of story:
a cr-15-20ish pack of 6-12 ChokerGhasts, how do I make it?
-and I would like scary. not op gonna kill us scary, but you know, actual terror scary-
