Is it dead? Homebrew monster thoughts
I made a homebrew monster that can only be perminantly killed by decapitating it, otherwise, it will come back to life in 1d4+1 hours. After a very intense battle and a near TPK, the barbarian got a nat 20 to kill this thing, and instead of cutting its head off she split its body down the center. I'm tempted to say that's enough, but there's also part of me that really wants to do one of two things:
The body joins itself back together like Durge from the Tartakovsky Clone Wars show.
There are now TWO of these things, and they are both hunting the party.
I'm mostly concerned about being fair to the rules I made, but also to the crit and just how awesome that combat was. It was probably one of the better combat sessions we've had, with the whole party bouncing around like a bunch of baboons when she got the crit.
Thank you for your thoughts!
