Good luck, I have 7 backup character concepts at all times
Are they all bards?
Every single boss in my campaign is a leveled bard. I'm proving a point by minmaxing the shit out of them, but they are all legal characters. My players are gonna hate it when every boss reveal starts with a Broadway musical. My favorite is a bard with some druid spells, a speed potion, and a couple other secrets making his base speed 120. Add in tree stride, and the party will never know from what direction he will strike. High dex means high ac and a finesse weapon. Get in, strike, get out. Plenty of attacks of opportunity for the players, so it's not completely cheesing. I could give him a ranged weapon but that tastes like cheese. I want the players to have an actual hard fight with a chance to win. All this, all of it, was because my wife asked me to make a bard boss and I ran with it.
They better get a vicious mockery that is just giggling
Damn that's good, gonna do that too
I can bring whole cities to ruin, and still have time to get a soft-shoe in...
What in the Scott Pilgrim...
That cheesy dashing in & out sounds great until one player has the Sentinel feat and is right after the boss in the turn order 😛
Oooohohohoho that's a fun feat. That would make the encounter much more interesting
IIRC there are some area effect spells that damage you more, the more you move.
Hide behind the mountain of dead bards!
Mountain of dead bards‽
