The four-armed gargoyle 5e stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A giant gargoyle has to be stronger than a regular one, right? If we take a deep dive into the stats of a four-armed Gargoyle, the answer is a resounding yes. However, if your party had a successful run-in with these chaotic evil living statues in the past, that is by no means a guarantee of victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look at the stats in-depth! If you want to see a summary, check the image below this chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Giant Gargoyles have a ton of immunities and resistances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They have a damage immunity against poison and a condition immunity against exhaustion, petrification, and getting poisoned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They have a very large pool of melee damage resistances. Not only that, but they will only take half damage when hit with bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage if the weapon is not magical or made out of adamantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Senses and skills: <\/strong>Four armed gargoyles have a 60 feet dark vision, a passive perception of 14, and a skill of +4 perception. These two abilities are great to avoid your players ambushing you and ambushing your players! Four armed Gargoyles speak Terran, which is a primordial dialect.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Multiattack<\/strong> – Since the gargoyle has four arms, it can make quite a strong multi-attack. It doesn\u2019t just hit you four times with the arms, but it bites you too. So that makes five attacks at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bite<\/strong> – When the giant gargoyle bites you, it is a +8 to hit, it reaches 5 feet and hits for an 11 piercing damage. This bite is a melee attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Claw<\/strong> – This counts as a melee attack too. It has a +8 to hit, a reach of 5 feet, and hits for nine slashing damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love using this monster in my campaigns. Many players think this is just a regular gargoyle <\/a>and underestimate it. They are perfect to ambush unexpecting players. If they are not moving, they seem to be normal statues if they are not moving, so you can hide away a giant four-armed gargoyle amongst regular statues pretty easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also make your monsters immune to a spell-like detect life by casting Feign Death on the monster and making it appear dead<\/a> to anyone inspecting it. This spell will make the gargoyle a perfect replica of a regular statue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to fight this monster effectively, a good idea would be to use ranging attacks on them. They only attack from up close, so this way, you can do quite a lot of chip damage to them. In addition, you can use a wall of water in 5e to slow the giant gargoyle<\/a> down if it is coming toward you. However, you need to be aware that they can fly over the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are afraid of taking a lot of direct damage from their melee attacks, you might need some backup to tank them for you. You can summon a planar ally to help you out<\/a>, but this is quite expensive, so make sure you budget accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your best chance is using actions and attacks, which the four-armed gargoyle will need to make intelligence saving throws against. These will work almost every time since they only have a 6 (-2) in this stat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you aren\u2019t in the mood to use a reanimated armor or a golem, a giant four-armed gargoyle is a great option to spice up your 5e DnD campaign. Many players are not going to expect this monster to be thrown at them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your players do not underestimate fighting this monster. It has a high defense and can fly over stationary spells like create bonfire to avoid taking any damage <\/a>from them. Their main weakness is that they have no ranging attack at their disposal. So that will allow a smart team to wear the monster down and take minimum damage from its vicious melee attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can. Four-Armed Gargoyles make for a very cool role-playing experience. You can choose to play as a normal one or a giant gargoyle with four arms. Just make sure that you aren\u2019t too overpowered since you can do four attacks – or five if you want to bite too – at once.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Gargoyles are great as a statue monsters to surprise non-expecting adventurers who aren\u2019t doing their perspective checks or are getting too confident. You can use them as guards of a mansion or have them protect a forgotten ruin or dungeon.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Lady Gondafrey is a woman who has been transformed into a gargoyle in 5e. You will need to save her if you want her to take the shape of an elemental again. Of course, you can add your own twists to who she is, as there isn\u2019t a lot of information about her.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love to help people explore the vast world of unknown creatures.
