Posted Jan 6, 2025It seems that this npc, like the swashbuckler from MPMM, is using dexterity and charisma for AC. Ironically, it's just like the new draconic bloodline sorcerer!

Posted Jun 1, 2025I think it's more likely they are using their Dex save for their AC. Good boss for tier 2 players though!

Posted Jan 7, 2026Why would they use their dex save for AC? No other monster does that

Posted Jan 26, 2026Compare this to the Performer Maestro, which is a CR6 monster which is objectively better or the same in almost every way. 30 more health, +1 AC, +2 damage per melee attack, an AOE saving throw against Charmed as a ranged option rather than a free single target charm or a single target ranged damage option. I can see why people would see this monster as weak since it is very much a stat stick with Captain’s Charm being the only interesting thing about it.
