September Monster Thread

[Oedipussy Rex]

but then again, look at how many Save or Die monsters Gygax used, so not sorry.

Okay, granted, when Gygax wrote The Keep on the Borderlands the style of play wasn't to have a Tank, a Healer, a Ranged Attacker, and a Melee Specialist in some combination of a few PCs. Instead what happened was 5 to 10 PCs, each with a henchman or two and ten to twenty hirelings, would descend on a dungeon like locusts devouring a corn field. So a spider kills a retainer. Sucks, but there are twenty-five more to take care of the problem.
