How would you build this as a monster ability/attack?

As the title says. This attack from the boss Balteus from Armored Core 6, firing hundreds of missiles at once at a single target, has always looked really cool to me. I was wondering how to go about and make it into a monster ability that isn't just do a save or take damage. Something that feels oppressive, either in its effects or the way to avoid damage.

My idea for now would be that you just do multiple saves in order to reduce the number of dice you're saving against, or maybe an attack roll that also requires a save? Not sure. Hence why I want some guidance because I think this is too cool to not include in some manner.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to some ideas.

Hello, friends.

As the title says, I need help making a dungeon. Specifically, this dungeon is a flying fortress manned by one of the bbeg's lieutenants. He has shown up and told them "hey, come here and fight me. I have your old friend who died and I've raised him as a death knight. What are you gonna do about it?" The friend in question being a player's old character that died in the past. (The player was the one who suggested this.)

So, obviously, the dungeon is gonna be deadly. But it also is not quite like other dungeons where the players are just entering an abandoned location, or a the players are sneaking in behind the ruler's back. The players are expected 'guests' and will have multiple challenges thrown at them along the way.

So my question is then, how would you run such a dungeon? Obviously there is some urgency, but the evil guy is treating this as a sort of sick trial/game. The logical approach is that there's a crap ton of mobs waiting for them inside, but that would be way too time consuming and boring... So what kinds of challenges do you think could be fun for such a situation? If it helps, the dungeon is largely undead themed.

Also, for context, we are playing Pathfinder2e and the players are level 14 (very powerful, but not quite the broken bs characters of that level would be in 5e.) Just to clarify that many challenges that a low level adventurer might experience make no sense being there.

Hello friends.

I am here looking for assistance determining what are the "coolest" or most memorable monsters (with art) in Pathfinder. My players and I had an idea based on something that came up before, and we decided it'd be fun to have an in-game minigame TCG or miniatures game within our world. The idea is that player characters collect cards/miniatures and the like... But obviously, coming up with your own TCG cards or miniatures is difficult.

So I had the idea while looking at the [Grim Reaper](https://2e.aonprd.com/Images/Monsters/Grim\_Reaper.webpart), and figured "hey, why don't I just take monster art and turn them into cards or whatever? I reskin all of my monsters anyway, so this is also a good chance to show the original artwork of many monsters."

So here I am, thirsting for knowledge on what the coolest monster artworks are according to the community. From humanoids, to spirits, to animals, beasts, demons, whatever! Just anything that you makes you think think "wow, this is cool. I wish I could show this off." which ones would be the "trash" items? Which ones would be the "super rare" ones? Wanna hear some thoughts.
