My 11th lvl team of 4 know through in game info know they will be dealing with a beefed up medusa within 48 hours game time. Ideas on avoiding becoming stone? Have a mystic thuerge, ranger, alchie, archeoligist bard. They own a magic item shop, have enough cash, and most creation feats. Im guessing wiz medusa from hints so standing around with closed eyes swinging aint gonna cut it. Help plz.
Well, closing your eyes is always a start. Simply averting your gaze is also a good start. But, keep in mind these medusa vulnerabilities:
- Gaze attacks work off fortitude. Do you have any ways to boost your fortitude saves? If so, utilize them. Remember that anything that boosts constitution boosts fort saves.
- Gaze works with a range of 30 ft. Chances are, wizard Medusa can fly with magic, but if not, simply keeping in the air elimiinates her chance to use the gaze at all. This said, keep outside of 30 ft however possible. Consider spells such as shadow anchor and entangle. The simple items like the net and tanglefoot bag might even see some use here, though it's not recommended.
- Lowering Medusa's charisma score will lower the power of her gaze attack as well.
- Blind grappling isn't the worst idea in the world.

Its in a dungeon so guessing close quarters unavoidable and cant get outside 30'.
However the raising fort to just suck it up might work as the ranger is a beast in melee
Have to check on any ways to kill its cha.
Any ways of getting blindsense or equivalent short term?
