Just finished a fight with Tiamat, and this is was the most boring ass fight Iīve ever fought in d&d.
We killed her, mostly thanks to a Dwarf barbarian and a human Ranger the gnome rogue helped a bit, but decided to multiclass into level 3 druid for some odd friggin reason.
Level 14 Party: Dwarf Barbarian, Human Ranger, Tiefling Druid/Monk, Gnome Rogue/druid & me a storm sorcerer 13(Unearthed arcana version)/cleric 1.
This fight consisted of me casting 1 seventh level spell that was saved against(cause legendary resistance) and then using animated spikes to help the party with 1 attack per round until I failed the save for concentration, then I dual cast haste on barbarian, Ranger and ended up forcecaging myself(got it from an epic artifact enhancement) and spending the rest of the fight giving Tiamat the finger. Barbarian did most of the work.
Casters suck, worst statblock of a final monster ever: Immunity to all elements, immunity to all spells of 6th level or lower. GG wizards, GG warlocks & GG sorcerers.
Probably not playing a caster for a year and a half, maybie bladesinger since it can ACTUALLY do something in melee.
DM did a lot of homebrewing so we werent exactly 14 level, we got a free feat late adventure as a boon from Bahamut, the artifact weapon was changed a LOT each player had an artifact of sorts that got enhancements at certain points lategame:
Artifacts were:
Barbarian The Axe of many; axe capable of changing forms and absorbing the enhancements and powers of other weapons.
Druid/Monk; Staff of the wild with some extra features, able to make a spells wild once or twice rolling extra on the wild surge table and later granting +2 wisdom.
Ranger: Arrow of the pheonix which worked as a bard boost on attack rolls and later turned into an ACTUAL pheonix that helped us, flew away and turned the rangers bow into a +1 +2d6 fire damage bow.
Rogue/Druid: Leaf that gave him resistance to all dragon breaths & immunity to dragonfear for all creatures in 100ī.
Sorcerer/Cleric: Ring of Elemental Air, Giving Immunity to lightning & Ability to cast Forcecage.
I did not enjoy this last fight since I as a caster had NOTHING to do. The other stuff was fun and epic at times.
Hope someone else enjoyed their stint against Tiamat.
