Bounty NPCs

[Egon the Monkey]

I've been going looking for these and it's been an entertaining sideline for my PC to take groups out to capture them. However, they have saves that are frankly unbelievable, making an offense caster PC a hell of a lot less useful. it's not been a problem as I've never ended up bringing one, but it feels a shame to take a PC along when I know OOC that all their good stuff will bounce and the player will feel a bit pointless. The saves are high enough to give them near-total immunity to anything with a save even from a minmaxed GSF caster.

I understand that it would be incredibly lame to beat them by just having a mage walk up and clobber them with a Hold Person or Evard's, but specific status and spell immunities would work better IMO. That way you could still use Stunning Fist, Gust of Wind, Tanglefoot Bags and other short stuns, Fireball them etc, but not kill them with one spell. Could they for example be given Death, Paralysis and Fear Immunity, and Immunity: Tasha's Hideous Laughter and Baleful Polymorph, and the saves made more average? That way they're immune to stuff that would be a Win Button, but not to any spell with any sort of save at all.
