You know, I've always liked Tiamat. I love dragons, so what's not to love about a chromatic dragon with 5 heads? But I've been reading the Powers & Pantheons book for the Forgotten Realms, and the more I read, the more I realize how much I love the character of Tiamat! What a cool villain!
And when I looked at her breath weapon damage...bwahahaha!
In each round she can do 676 points of damage.
That's still 338 points of damage with a saving throw. What's that? Your character has a ring of fire resistance?
Ok smart-ass, make that 628 pt of damage, save (with your +4 bonus) for 314 pts.
Did you want the ashes scattered anywhere special?
In ten rounds she does 6,760 points of damage, and "only" 3,380 with 10 saves!
That lady (dragon) can kick ass! Love the -12 AC too!
But it's not just the damage. I really love the idea of a dragon god with all those different dragon heads. Plus, in the FR she can manifest as a chromatic dracolich of sorts as well. Now that is something even Halaster might run from!
Varl, you're the expert on these things...I got the FR Deities & Demigods book, and Powers & Pantheons. Love both. So much detailed info! But is Demihuman Deities worth getting? I'm not all that impressed with the various dwarven and gnomish gods (they all seem the same to me), but I'm wondering if there are enough drow gods (Vhaerun, Lolth, etc) to make it worth getting. Probably should complete the set either way, huh?
Look out, players in Halaster's campaign! Halaster's got the hots for Tiamat, so that means she'll be paying you a visit soon!
