#D&d 3.5 banshee full

I agree with what you say, and I know the formula gets a little funky when you (and I mean: I) mess with #1 and #2, but since I reserve the right to make those changes, I am left with cleaning up after my own experiments. It's not a question of the monster, it's a question of who is taking damage.Д®nderxenocide0 wrote:5E works under a few key assumptions here: A wizard with 10 hit points and a Fighter with 80 that are dropped to 0 from being hit with sticks have the same issue. The key thing for your player to remember, though, is that this isn't any different that any other creature in combat. Since your party has vastly different levels of players, they are affected differently. Since your long rests take longer, the characters would be forced to spend longer and use up hit dice to recover. With these standards in mind, the Banshee works just fine.

Even if it does, the game knows that thanks to #1, an adventuring party can heal to full automatically with a long rest that doesn't consume much time, relatively speaking. Yes, they would have to heal more than a lower level character, but because of #2, this doesn't usually result in there being a big disparity between players. Parties will be comprised of players of roughly the same level.ДЄ Banshee, because of #3, drops a character to 0 to avoid automatically killing them. Long rests are 8 hours, short rests are 1 hour.Дў. Have you encountered (or thrown encounters) with other monsters with similar save or be reduced to 0 hits, and how were these encounters resolved - by the rules as written or a house-ruling, like mine above?ДҐE works under a few key assumptions here:ДЎ. So, my question is two (or three)-fold: Do you think the banshee's Wail is appropriate or inappropriate? (I did this so clerics and healing potions aren't so useless imc ironically, no one has a cleric character now.)

It is usable only once per day, so I am inclined to think that in combination with it's Horrible Visage ability (usable every round) that this drop to 0 hits is an intentional rule to give the game the feeling that encountering a banshee sucks worse for high level characters.ДЄlso please note that imc a short rest is 8 hours long, and a long rest is one week for healing purposes, so characters cannot heal after every encounter - unless they are healed by potions, regeneration, or spells. I have not had the time to research if other monsters, undead or not, have effects like the Banshee's Wail. To keep my players happy, I ruled that he could make a saving throw every turn, on a save, his gnome would wake up and only suffer 3d6 psychic damage (and I rolled a 14). I kind of agree with my player's sentiments if this is an unintentional effect on high level characters, but if this is intentional, then I kind of like having monsters with marginal hit points (the banshee has something like 50-60 averaged hits?) that can scare the shit out of higher level characters. My gnome player nearly packed up and left, until I explained that 0 hit points is not dead - simply unconscious, and he argued that in that case, higher level characters will have to heal MORE than low level characters if they fail the banshee's saving throw, and that is unfair, accredited to poor rules design for 5e. The other character in range takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage. The banshee wails and the only one to fail the save is the gnome wizard, who (by the banshee's description) falls to 0 hit points. The party has a new 1st level (human) fighter PC, a 5th level fighter (also human), a 5th level (elven) wizard with the Staff of the Magi, an 8th level (gnome) wizard with 86 hit points, and a 4th level (human) druid. Now, this is fresh after an encounter from a previous session, so the party's 6th level thief is still unconscious and resting, the rest are huddled around a campfire in the outskirts of the Ruins. In last Wednesday's session, I threw the banshee at the party.
