Help a fellow DM out. So I've got this player in my 5th edition game, Character name Jun. He's a 11th level Tempest cleric / Open hand monk multiclass (5/6 level split respectively) and he basically dominates the party with his speed and massive amount of DPS. He's got stupid good stats and the cleric spells don't help either.
The current BBEG of the campaign is tied closely to his backstory, and I basically want to make him tailored to fuck Jun up specifically. (The rest of the party will be otherwise preoccupied so they're not an issue)
Since It will come down to a 1v1 fight with the monk, how should I build him for maximum effectiveness?
Xavier Evans
Cut his hands off.
Brody Clark
I thought about some kind of permanent debuff.. BBEG is a complete asshole like that, but the player of the monk would probably bitch up a storm
Aaron Adams
Because he built his character well. And is playing intelligently you honestly think that giving him a permanent debuff just for that is a good thing? If you're going to challenge him make it fair, don't just throw bullshit at you players. Also cutting his hands off is retarded, unless he can get them back somehow. Taking away his hands away would seem like a petulant DM removing player agency.
Jaxson Foster
The BBEG has good hp and saves. The game isn't designed for 1v1; the player should get curbstomped by any decent solo
Jaxon Thomas
The BBEG is immune to the last type of attack used on him. So if he punches, he's now immune to punches. If he uses magic, he's immune to that school of magic.
No matter how powerful he maybe, he'll have to constantly alter his style to even hurt the guy. Throw in regen on the BBEG if you want to be even more cruel
Brayden Peterson
I was thinking of stealing the ranger's multi attack defense, not quite making him completely immune, but after the first attack his AC gets a nice +4 buff for the rest of the turn.
Blake Sanchez
I wouldn't take away his hands unless he did something utterly retarded and deserved it. And yeah, he did build his character pretty well. He's gathered a good number of feats that supplement his abilities too.
Dylan Bennett
The thing is, the BBEG isn't some typical lich or overlord, its just a noble with a particularly violent history with the monk. The fight is intended to be cinematic, the rest of the party will be dealing with his guards while the monk takes him on alone.
Daniel Hill
>He's got stupid good stats
And that's why my gaming always use point buy.
youtube.com/watch?v=UJWn6CD7PVg Guy in this video makes some really good points about not rolling for stats.
As for your BBEG. I would give him some legendary actions and multiple reactions.
