Scrying Eye on Tactician
It has an AC of 9 and is immune to poison and psychic. Resistant to pretty much everything else, vuln to thunder. I'm in the goblin camp and I've hit this thing with 2H hammer, greatsword, xbow and bow. Every hit is zero damage and I'm actually missing. It doesn't say you have to hit for over x-amount of damage. Are these things invulnerable in Tactician? Thanks for any help.

use shatter spell, or the lvl 1 shockwave should even work.

It does actually say it reduces all damage taken by a flat 8. Meaning, you need to hit for at least 18 damage to damage it, which can be achieved by GWM attacks, or just using most sources of thunder damage.

Can't remember if I ever dealt with the one in the goblin camp but those I found later on I just threw into chasms using high strength character.

That also works on tactician! I've done that before when I forgot my casters in the goblin camp

it doesn't say you have to hit for over 10 damage, it only says it eats the first 8 damage. Since I don't have thunder spells, it's pretty much invulnerable since it has resistance + the 8 damage absorb. So it's gonna follow me around sounding the alarm :) Should be interesting.

Cast chromatic orb with thunder

Use Chromatic Orb: Thunder. If you want to be extra sure you can even upcast it to level 2.

You need a 9 to hit. Your caster probably has 16 in their spell casting attribute, so +3 from that, and between level 1 and 4 you get +2 from the proficiency bonus (+3 from 5-8, +4 for 9+), that's at least a +5, so you need to roll a 4 at the lowest. Bless would add another 1d4 to this spell attack roll, if you wanted to make sure. Rolling a 1 always fails, though.

It has 11 HP and ignores 8 damage from each hit, so we need to do at least 19 damage to kill it in one hit. It's vulnerable to thunder damage so our damage is doubled, which means we need to roll at least a 10 for damage to kill it in one hit.
A level 1 Chromatic Orb does 3d8 thunder damage. One d8 rolls 4.5 damage on average, so three add up to 13.5.
A level 2 Chromatic Orb does 4d8 thunder damage, which adds up to 18 damage on average.

I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!! I said, "I'm not a part of your system man".

- The game might bug out a few times because they are technically flying but you can throw them into chasms or as was the case in Grymforge, into the bowels of mount magma. They are not it seems, resistant to the grabby touch nor out of bounds instantaneous death.

I remember using a satchel with smokepowder in Grymforge. In Moonrise I used Astarion very effectively with his sneak attack damage (insta-kill)

It worked, I pushed it into the chasm right next to the drow chick, can't think of the name.

Pick it up and throw it into a pit. It dies instantly and there's no body, so other NPCs don't get suspicious so long as they don't see you do it.

That's amazing, always learn something new about this game.

It has Etherial From which reduces all damage by 8.

I suggest keeping some Chromatic Orb and/or Shatter scrolls in your inventory to deal with these things.
