Hey folks! The party I Dm for will reach Drezen in a session or two, (Sword of Valor module) and I'm thinking ahead.
The first mythical trial by the module is to kill the mythic chiemra, Soltengrebbe. I'm worried that it might be a bit too weak. My party aren't optimizers, but they have dealt nicely with the challenges the module presents, even after some significant upgrading I've done (You can see the sig).
I'm wondeing if anyone else played this scenario, and how they fared. At what level did the party face the chimera? How did they fare? Where did you have them meet it? Did you use it as it is, or an upgraded version?
I'm aiming to make this a very tough fight. I'm not sure where and when they'll meet her, that depends on the events at the siege I guess. But I hope they'll gain 7th level before they do.
I was thinking of upgrade the mythic trial a bit. My current ideas:
- Add a giant template (Addition to strength, con, sizes of natural weapons). and possibly an advanced template. This will make it a CR 11 (A serious challenge for 7th/1st level party I hope). The idea is to truly make it...the BEAST of Drezen- high hp, high melee damage, with the mythical power used mostly for save and rending. I think facing a huge beast might also prove to be impressive.
- Perhaps replace her with... a dragon? I think a young adult brass dragon (Made demonic by some demonic influence),with perhaps just 2 mythical tiers, to keep it CR 11. Better attacks, defenses, even some spells (Mirror image? Invisibility?). Either that or perhaps a young copper dragon, giant template (just so it'll be large), and 4 mythical tiers (Again, making it a CR 11). I prefer it's slowing breath to the Brass sleeping breath, as it doesn't take opponents fully out of the fight. I'm bit worried that his might be an overkill, with how tough dragons are said to be. I rarely ran them. However, a dragon fight is always tense and memorable!
Any other ideas?
