Just by looking at the thing, one would think it should be closer to 12 (10 at least), but my party of 7th & 8th level characters had no problems defeating the creature. I'm not sure why, as I used it most intelligently and the adventure module even said that it would be a very difficult fight for the party. (The module is for lvl 6 characters.) I think its exceptionally low AC has something to do with it. Those cover mods it gets from its treasure mound don't really help alot...
Jaxian Redleaf 01-07-04, 06:23 PM	ok it is maybe right after all...but i think i will make it grow a little to get it upp a few CRs!:devil:

The crappish AC is so low that he get hit frequently in combat and thus cannot use its spell like abilities, I have once run one of these beasts, advanced to the max hit dices possible against 4 level 16 chars. The only danger of the encounter happened when the partys fighers learned that the thing had only AC16-18, he turned against the party and Shouted: "The first one of you guys that attack the beast will taste my sword! Its power attack time!" And so he charged the thing...
