This a major encounter for my mythic game, just wondering what level/mythic tier people would think is required to survive/defeat it?
Overall the encounter probably ranks around a CR32-33 which would make it a difficult challenge for lvl 20 mt 10 party of 4 with average optimization. A well balanced, highly optimized party of 5 (20/10) would be fine.
The answer to this question is always 1st.
Arcane caster was given a wish scroll and put effort into their Spellcraft score.
I hope the wish is to teleport the party to another plane. Also, even a wizard would need to make a CL check or UMD. Spell craft won't cut it and those two options both leave the 1st level wizard with about a 25% or less to make the check.
They really need a ring of three wishes. :D
Yea, not so much. DC 17 caster level check which means (caster level + d20) no modifiers. That's a 75% chance of failure.
If you want to use all your modifiers it's a UMD check DC 37. Which with your +14 means you need to roll a 23 on a d20.
Yea, you are right about DC 18, but that is still a caster level check now at 80% chance to fail
If she meets all three requirements but her own caster level is lower than the scroll spell's caster level, then she has to make a caster level check (DC = scroll's caster level + 1) to cast the spell successfully.
Caster level check =/= spell craft check. Caster level is not a skill, you don't get skill modifiers. Just caster level + roll
What's the wish?
I misread the scroll section. Then the answer is a single 17th or less wizard.
17th - 100%
I like 7th. 50/50 chance of success. Flip a coin to succeed or die horribly.
You got to get very lucky on that initiative roll, though.
Those linnorms are going to kill or immobilize you, if they act before you.
If the demon lord goes first, all of them is gonna have that time stop moment to make sure, you never read more than a single word of that scroll...
Hilarialously Kostchtchie has no means of fighting while flying unless he is going to ride around on a Linnorm which is a recipe for disaster.
Constant airwalk should do the trick.
Kostchtchie is CR 23 not 28
Anyway i think this encounter is beatable by level 20 party of 4 assuming they know it's coming their way and they are at top efficiency (full spells/hp). 20-mithyc 1 makes it way easier than it seems. Buffed pounching barbarian/warrior can OTK Kos, everything else is just a minior timesink.
Actually Kostchtchie is CR 26, according to Bestiary 4.
sorry i was watching the wrong one
Actually Kostchtchie is CR 26, according to Bestiary 4.
I'm using the bestiary 4 one, could have sworn my print edition said 28 but maybe my eyes are blurry.
They are fighting him to retrieve powerful item to help them banish all the demon lords from their plane, will be going to his lair, and his minions will be spread out, but the ceiling will be set so that flying won't let them get out of range even if he is standing on the floor.
