29 AB Shambling Undead

[prestonhunt]

Was on Jergal, and a mummy used some item to summon a shambling dead, whereupon said spawn nearly killed the entire party due to it having 29 AB.

FYI.

I want one!

Cue the Imperial, Er, UNDEAD March!

*some skeletons start playing Imperial March on TrumBONES*




And dude, my answer: Bring some Armor-Peircing weaponry, like, say, a chaingun with AP rounds.

Epic

[Relinquish]

Aren't they slow as sin though?

[ExileStrife]

Only nearly killed?  It doesn't seem like there's any reason to fix this.

[Letsplayforfun]

lol.

Damn, if quests have creatures that can nearly kill the pcs, i'm quiting!

[Requiem]

Quests should be challenging, but throwing such a monster on a quest with a max level of 7 may be too much.

[The Beggar]

I think this is a perfect opportunity to realize that:

Atleast it doesn't have an AB of 30.

Shambling dead can actually run, can't they?

[lovethesuit]

They shamble. Come on, that's a given. They can shamble quickly though.

This happened again, these shambling undead have the highest AB in the server, is this a bug or a feature?

It's probably not intended, but I'm sure a shambling undead with this epic AB still has low AC/HP and one attack per turn, plus no epic damage. Which does not make it a pc killer.

Maybe it was a mini-boss?

[Velve]

I didn't know minibosses could come from summoning, but its pretty possible.
