Tactical Recommendations

  • Aerial Mobility: Use flying speed to maintain range against melee-heavy adventurers, swooping in only to execute high-impact actions.
  • Aquatic Advantage: Pull targets into water environments where characters without a swim speed suffer attack disadvantage and breath limits.
  • Lighting Manipulation: Exploit darkvision or blindsight in total darkness to force players to rely on torchlight or spell slots.
