for some reason killing these makes you roll a will save vs. death DC17 that will kill you even if you have immunity to death.
are the suppose to be lethal or is this a bug?

Excellent question Rastan. I honestly figured that you would be the one to discover them first too. The Death Watch Beetle, as defined on pg. 17 of Monster Manual 2, creates a clicking sound with it's carapice that causes sonic vibration of such magnitude, that everyone in a 30' radius must make a save or die instantly from their heads exploding. Even if you save the damage is 5-30 sonic. It was supposed to this before EVERY attack, according to MM2 but I reduced this to a 1 in 6 each combat round. No, death magic immunity will NOT save you; this is not magic, it's a natural phenomenon. Just thought I'd put in something to spice things up. The DC vs. Will is 16, so I can only assume that by level 30, most chars will only fail this on a 1 or 2. That leaves you a 1-in-10 chance of failing, in a 1-6 chance of oi even occuring. Nothing crazy, just something to keep you guys on your toes  |

Wow. Bad luck...but think of it this way. There's statistically a 1 in 60 chance of getting nailed by it. You already hit it. So.....statistically, you are good for another 59 combat rounds with em |

went thru that area as doomsday, beetles never popped once.
anyways i had some trouble in the drow tunnels
Those mages would often summon out a filed of BBoD that i couldnt get past to do anything about the mages till the summonings ended in a good number of turns.
Are you going make a dagger that casts dismissal on hit?
P.S. great job with the War Machine gave me more trouble than most of the dragons. though that could be because i was wearing boots of the chieftan ;D
