  • \$\begingroup\$ Hm. I see two close votes as "opinion-based". I don't quite see what is opinion-based about my question. My problem is that the counters to a 4th level spell like polymorph are presumably not known to the villain population at large, so the polymorphed opponent will likely stay polymorphed for the entire fight. Which looks overpowered to me. What would the target's allies do, RAW? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 23:12

    \$\begingroup\$ How many encounters do you run per long rest? Having more encounters can help by getting the PCs to burn through more resources before the boss fight. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 17, 2020 at 0:18

    \$\begingroup\$ @Steve: I haven't kept track in the past, sometimes the group is nicely exhausted, sometimes they rest after every goblin. I think resource management is a general topic, and would not really help here. After all, if they use the polymorph in the very first battle of the day, we have the same problem. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 17, 2020 at 8:30
