<br />
Mythic.</p>
<p>In lots of words?
<br />
As a MR 2 creature, Eglain gets three mythic abilities:
<br />
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Mythic Monsters wrote:</div><blockquote><p>Such abilities can be drawn from the mythic path abilities for mythic heroes or the mythic abilities listed with the monsters in this section, or it can be a new ability you create by taking inspiration from those abilities. </p>
<p>....</p>
<p>In place of a mythic ability, the monster may gain a universal monster ability, such as rend or pounce, either from an existing Bestiary or from this section.</blockquote><p>The three abilities chosen were:
</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Dual Initiative wrote:</div><blockquote><p>The monster gets two turns each round, one on its initiative count and another on its initiative count – 20. For example, if the monster's initiative is 23, for its first turn it could make a full attack (and take a 5 foot step) at initiative 23, and for its second turn at initiative 3 it could take a move action and cast a spell. This allows the monster to perform two actions per round that normally take an entire round, such as using a summon monster spell. For the purposes of spells and effects that have a duration of a round or longer or trigger at the beginning of the creature's round or the start of its turn such as saving throws against ongoing effects or taking bleed damage), only the monster's first turn each round counts toward such durations.
</p>
Format: +21/+1; Location: Initiative.</blockquote><p>Then, selecting from the initial 'universal monster ability list,' we have 'Spell-like ability,' which,
</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Spell-Like Ability wrote:</div><blockquote> For creatures with spell-like abilities, a designated caster level defines how difficult it is to dispel their spell-like effects and to define any level-dependent variables (such as range and duration) the abilities might have. The creature’s caster level never affects which spell-like abilities the creature has; sometimes the given caster level is lower than the level a spellcasting character would need to cast the spell of the same name. If no caster level is specified, the caster level is equal to the creature’s Hit Dice.</blockquote><p>which signifies that CL can be anything, higher or lower than HD (there are plenty of monsters with a CL higher than their HD- faerie dragon comes to mind, as does Vampire)
<p>Finally, we have
<br />
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Spells wrote:</div><blockquote>The creature is able to cast magical spells like a member of a spellcasting class. The creature counts as a member of that class for any effect or ability relating to casting spells as that class. For example, it can use spell completion and spell trigger items usable by that class or use magic items that affect that class’s spellcasting (such as incense of meditation or a pearl of power). If the creature has any other abilities relating to that class (such as cleric domains or a sorcerer bloodline), this is explained in its entry. If the creature gains levels in that spellcasting class, these abilities stack (for example, a spirit naga that gains 3 sorcerer levels casts spells as a 10th-level sorcerer). Some creatures may have unusual abilities unavailable to spellcasters of that class (such as a spirit naga’s ability to learn cleric spells with her sorcerer spells known).</blockquote><p>For this, Eglian has the ability to cast as a 20th-level Oracle, but with the option to select Sorcerer/Wizard spells as spells known. But beyond that, he can select any oracle revelation(including final revelations) to use on a daily basis, which, from a certain point of view, is allowable from the ability description.
<p>Most of his feats are bonus feats- he gets a ton from Revelations.</p>
<p>Lastly, his ability score breakdown is (for Dex and Cha, anyway, as they're his highest)</p>
<p>Dex:
<br />
Base of 24 (Race gives +6 to Dex, base of 18- lots of dumping, 20 point buy. I can't remember the precise stat distribution before everything else, but if you really want to, I can break it all down.)
<br />
+4 for Young
<br />
+4 for Advanced
<br />
+4 for Half-celestial
<br />
+4 from a Lilitu's Profane Gift
<br />
+5 from Wish
<br />
=45
<br />
Then, +6 from a belt for a total of 51.</p>
<p>For CHA, we have:
<br />
Base 22 (+4 for race- custom 15 RP race with Advanced stats and Advanced Charisma as well)
<br />
+4 Advanced
<br />
+4 Half-celestial
<br />
+2 Vampiric Template
<br />
+2 Mythic advancement
<br />
+4 Lilitu's profane blessing
<br />
+5 Wish
<br />
=43
<br />
Then, +6 from headband and +5 from this nifty little spell called Genius Avarcarius, for the total of 54.</p>
<p>As I keep saying, no, he is not balanced, no, this should not work, but so far as I can tell, it is all <i>permissible</i>. Think of him as Pun-Pun. A bunch of rules that should not go together at all, let alone in the hands of a player. A big part of the problem is that Mythic allows for access to what amounts to monster creation, and those were not very well-balanced and assumed that restraint would hold monsters back. All Eglian is is a removal of that restraint.</p>In a word?
Mythic.
In lots of words?

<p>Fury/Dazenth- •shrug• I keep saying Eglian is broken, but no one seems to believe me as for how much. For the spell sunder, so far as I could tell, when you're targeting me, it's based off of my CMD+5, not based off of CL (which it was before). As it stands, I have a higher CMD than CL, largely thanks to my Dex modifier (it's absurdly easy to increase dexterity with templates. The aforementioned young+advanced templates nets a total of +8 Dex with no CR change), and throw on a couple of magical bonuses to DEX, and my modifier hits +20. Combine that with Mythic Weapon Finesse, and I get that to hit and to damage. </p>
<p>So.... your construct armor takes 137 damage and absorbs 5 negative levels for you, leaving you with 254 damage and.... 8 negative levels, which I think leaves you at 6 HP? Oh wait, there was the Cold Ice Strike from earlier... how much did that deal? If it dealt less than 36 damage, it would have been absorbed by the construct armor (from my understanding) and still have a couple HP left to soak up the remainder of my 3rd attack. </p>
<p>That being said, it's not quite impossible to defeat Eglian. Some good luck and carefully considered tactics could still beat him- that much I have realized. It's just that he may well take you all out one at a time before then.</p>Oros- you need line of effect to see someone with blindsense, which the stone wall would break.

<p>I don't believe that any Invisibility Purge was actually used? Glitterdust did outline him, he was just able to re-hide (assuming the Dust didn't vanish along with the Mephits) with a really, really high stealth check. So, would that mean you attempt a Disjunction on Eglian? Okay. Does that also preclude your intimidation attempt?</p>
<p>Dazenth: Okay, so taking into consideration all of that (I forgot to include the bonus from CAGM into that), after the construct is destroyed, you would take 254 damage and 8 negative levels (more if either Crit landed).
<br />
<span class="messageboard-dice"><b>75% Crit Negation:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d100 ⇒ 25</span>
<br />

<p>Fagila: Does Meek Facade actually force me to keep attacking Dazenth? Or am I just not allowed to attack anyone else? Tactically, Eglian would likely hold back and recover a bit before resuming his barrage. However, on a save

<br />
Oros, pointing at the approximate area that Eglian is, instantly sets off a chain of events. Five mephits all send a spray of golden dust at the vampire, and the angel speaks a word of incredible holiness. The mephits do manage to coat a tiny winged humanoid in golden dust, but other than that, he seems completely unaffected by the spells. In a blur of movement, he rushes forward, completely avoiding all attempts to stop him, and ferociously attacks Fagila, zipping at insane speeds through the half-orc's area, refusing to let her escape this time. As he does so, a palatable sense of fear washes over those nearby. By the time he is finished, his target is in bad shape. However, the blindingly fast vampire isn't finished. A fireball detonates from around him, and by the time the fire dissipates, Eglian is long gone, viciously attacking Dazneth with a devastating mix of attacks. Then, the glittering figure vanishes back into the shadows, leaving behind a violent reminder as he left, a powerful telekinetic blow that nearly knocks Gash's feet out from under him, but he barely manages to stay on his feet.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>I took specific preparations to avoid Holy Word, as I realized that was my greatest potential weakness, so I'm not just making stuff up here, nor did I forget about the partial effects.
<br />
Fagila, Gash, Dazenth, and all the mephits also need to make a DC 32 Will save or be affected by a Fear spell.
<br />
Also, Fagila, you take... 9 Acid damage, 412 regular damage, and 16 negative levels (two crits this time). Oh, and make 2 DC 41 Fort saves to avoid being sickened. If you manage to escape as Eglian approaches, that goes to Dazenth instead, but his lower AC means that he'd take an extra 47 damage and 1 point more of acid damage (Enhancement bonus on attacks is high enough to overcome Adamantine-based DR).
<br />
Then, Gash, Faglia, Dazneth, and the Mephits all take 42 fire damage (Reflex DC 33 half).</span></p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Once all that is taken care of, Eglian attacks Dazneth (or goes after Fagila if she escaped him prior) for 10 acid damage, 454 regular damage, and 15 negative levels. If he goes after Fagila, she only takes 6 acid damage, 272 regular damage, and 11 negative levels.
<br />
I updated the map with the last square you know Eglian was in. If someone can make a DC 53 Perception check, I'll give more information.
<br />
Gash- What's your CMD? I rolled a nat 1, so it doesn't matter this round, but it might for the future.</span></p>

Oros, pointing at the approximate area that Eglian is, instantly sets off a chain of events. Five mephits all send a spray of golden dust at the vampire, and the angel speaks a word of incredible holiness. The mephits do manage to coat a tiny winged humanoid in golden dust, but other than that, he seems completely unaffected by the spells.

<p>As a level 2 summoner, with 3 CR coming from templates/Mythic subtype, Eglian is... a bit unconventional, I will say that much. But it leaves his HP slightly on the lower side.
<br />
If you could land a few good hits on him (I advise AoE attacks), he'd absolutely go down. The majority of his HP comes from stuff like False Life, and other long-duration buffs. Most of his attacks come from spells. The bulk of his power comes from the Mythic subtype, namely this little gem:</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Mythic Subtype wrote:</div><blockquote><p>Additional Mythic Abilities: The monster gains a number of mythic abilities equal to its MR + 1. Such abilities can be drawn from the mythic path abilities for mythic heroes or the mythic abilities listed with the monsters in this section, or it can be a new ability you create by taking inspiration from those abilities. These abilities should be thematically appropriate for the creature.</p>
<p>Some new monster abilities are especially powerful; at the GM's discretion, they can count as two abilities toward this total. For example, the mythic fire giant's fire vortex ability could count as two mythic abilities.</p>
<p>In place of a mythic ability, the monster may gain a universal monster ability, such as rend or pounce, either from an existing Bestiary or from this section.</blockquote><p>But yeah..... I suppose anything is possible, so who knows? Maybe you'll surprise me.I legitimately did not know how well he would fare- but as I have said numerous times, I am not sure that he's even beatable without knowing his weaknesses.
