My dnd 5e group is level 13. The game has gone beyond their home world and into spelljamming. They’ve ended up with a mission to Cybertron. I reskinned a Warforged Colossus to be a Cybertronian Guardian robot (CR 25).

 

I did everything I could to descriptively scare them. I even let the fighter analyze the target more than I should have so that they could know how powerful it is. Instead of ducking for cover, hiding and outright running away/scattering, 4/6 of them just sorta stood there…waiting to see what would happen

 

Those 4/6 were hit by its rechargeable cannon which disintegrates when you hit zero HP. One of them did hit zero and was obliterated out of existence. For good measure, it then stomped down on the disintegrated hero’s equipment, destroying the fallen’s magic items.

 

I tried. 😂

Players will be players.

 

As I told you on the ride into ReaperCon, my group throws almost all of their big guns at the first thing they see & then when the BBEG comes around they are throwing cantrips & other lesser means at it. Sometimes you just gotta wipe the slate clean.....

 

My group is gonna hate me when they finally meet up with the big bad spider at the end of the caves, Andy's huge arachnid from B5. :devil:
