I’m running a campaign for some awesome players, a few of whom have read the various monster books forwards and backwards for their own campaigns. They do a decent job of not meta gaming *too* much, but I like to reshape foes to keep it fresh.

All that said any ideas on how a drow banshee might be different than stock? They are 7th level so a regular banshee would just be a speed bump. Would like something more creative than only more hp and am drawing a blank.

Thanks

Axe the incorpreal movement, it moves by turning into a swarm of spiders. Scratch the beauty hoarders, it values cruelty and is enraged by kindness. Horrifying visage charms instead of creating a fear effect.

Depends on how challenging you want to make it.

Looking at various lair actions might be cool.

Giving her a Mirror Image spell (cast before they enter?) so it would seem like there are multiple at first glance.

Summon some low cr monsters (as part of a lair action?).


Have fun with it, just make sure it's not an impossible challenge to tackle.
