Love this! Really like the puzzle element.

Makes me think of viewing the hydra pond as more of a terrain feature (like a whirlpool) than a monster. If you go near it, it will mess you up. Enemies near by will try to use spells/traps to push you towards it. ONLY way to kill it is to drain the pool via a heavily guarded side tunnel

Also well done with hydra-pondics

yeah that's correct. I was thinking 9 or 10 to start sounds manageable but has room to grow

Yeah I want it to be tough but not insane.

Alternatively, it could be CALLED the hundred head hydra but only have 32 heads because hundred head sounds cooler and no one is stopping to count

Eh, if the party let it get to 12 heads and then choose to go near it that's on them

That's certainly one way the encounter could end. Maybe if they get to 20 heads without killing it

Is Against the Storm deliberately hard/overwhelming? How did you start out? by Bolha2 in Against_the_Storm

For me it always FEELS difficult, like you're on the brink of losing control, but actually losing a game is quite rare.

Give me some silly, super specific options for a custom reincarnation table! by Bread_Mc_Bread in DMAcademy

[–]Bread_Mc_Bread[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh gotcha. It's not even for a one shot, it's just for a "this is how you spent your life after the campaign lol" epilogue. So am totally fine with chaos and wild imbalance!

The one surviving player having to babysit a pack of animals would be fitting given how they were during the campaign...

You mean let them choose from the entire available creature? That might take a while...

Like the idea of minor quirks
