Re: [Slope: Ch 12] New Monster - Flame Fiends. Comments are welcome.



Hi all,
  The idea for this spell was that the Flame Fiend could 
withdraw from combat for a couple turns and 
regenerate some.  

  After it got some hit points back, it comes at the party 
again.

  Warm regards, Rick.

It depends how you envisage the creature using its insubstantial mode. Is it a method of escape, of evading pursuit, of penetrating an obstacle, of regenerating damage, what?

Hmm, good point.  What would you suggest?

If it goes insubstantial, and I don't have an approved extinguishing weapon, is there anything I can do?

I generally dislike monsters that can make themselves completely invulnerable unless you have some specific gadget. (Slimes are a problem in this respect, if you don't have fire.) A PC standing around doing nothing is a bored player. Let them do something, make some contribution, even if it's not very effective.
