Shrek what happened?

Quote from LargestMan >>

Yes, as long as its not a critical hit or radiant damage. As a flavor technique, I would also say that fire damage could temporarily negate this ability as well.

 id argue tht the fire damage yes negates it, but if u run homebrew burning conditions, then theres no need, as its a crazy fun event running from a flaming zombie thats constantly almost dying until it finally fails the save it makes each turn as it burns. and i think thats hilarious

way to powerful, nearly wiped my team of 4

 no such thing, its accurate to what it should be. if u want it to be weaker make it dumber. zombies haver high hp, thats their thing, the challenge is how to hit it a bunch without getting hit. and the DM can make any encounter incredibly easy or incredibly hard just by how they play it. and so can YOU!

My DM thought it would be a good idea for a level 2 Warlock, Cleric, Paladin, and Rogue to fight 3 of these at once... He was very wrong.

 oh no

 actually if you make this a low stakes goofy encounter you could have the dumb zombies hitting eachother. so for a stealthy/dexterous group that would be a brilliant en counter, running between their legs, tricking them into knocking eachother out like the trolls in the hobbit

is it not also a reskin of a hulking zombie? i dont know if there already is one in dnd but there was in 4e when i played

Come on the regular ogre has more attacks than this guy.

 What are you on about? Regular ogres have 2 weapon choices (but are not necessarily in possession or either or both of them) and they only attack once. How, exactly, does 1 > 1? Hm?

They list saving throw modifiers whenever it's different from the check modifier. So in this case, since the normal Wisdom modifier is -2, +0 is different from that, so they list it there.

I'm having ten of these face a rogue, wizard, barbarian, archer, druid, cleric, and fighter, the druid is level two, the rest are all npc's at level four or five and the rouge is the only player.

 That means the players are dumb a cleric can turn undead, duh!

I just fought this thing in a arena only me and no weapons reason is because a note we found said this

 Arena Construction Log – Entry #7

At last, the Dueling Arena nears completion. As instructed, I have installed the Arcane Isolation Engine at the heart of the battleground. Its purpose is clear: only a single challenger may step within the ring at a time. Should any others attempt entry, the barriers will hold firm—no spell, arrow, or blade can cross from outside to within.

The shield wards were woven by three mages, sealed with runes of solitude and reinforced by the blood of a chimera. No outside interference shall mar the fairness of combat. Let this arena stand as a true test of bravery and skill—one soul against the beast, with fate as the only witness.

—Master Builder Ghelvor

Tampering with the Arcane Isolation Engine is forbidden. Any breach will alert the wardens and summon the guardians.

TFK

so only one person can enter my party and i figured i should do it since i have 19 AC and decent attacks when i enter the arena all my weapons was taken only my weapons so since there was dead skeletons i ripe out a sharp piece of bone from one of them and i somehow killed the Ogre Zombie with it. I am now going to keep that bone and make it into a weapon or something.
