Correct on both accounts.Does the rifle start out uncharged and take 1d2 rounds? If not, it honestly seems WAY too powerful, as 64d10 damage would be about 320 on average, which would 1 shot even a level 13 barbarian several times over.
These are galactic conquistadors who don't fight fair.
They were hard to calculate CR for, ultimately I went with that because other than that one attack they're still less capable than a standard sorcerer of even level, and a sorcerer's Disintegrate has a similar, if not easier to avoid and less powerful effect, but similar enough. Given these guys are playing with nukes basically, you can see how It was hard to gauge.
That said, That's always been what the Spraug were and are. They're scary and scary powerful. Moreover a ridiculously powerful near pleromic age weapon should probably be should be a literal game changing and terrifying technology.
Either way adding tech in is very strong and very unbalancing by it's very nature, as it should be, think of how technology allowed us to conquer the world from animals and even less technological humans with ease..
Though powerful they are somewhat like the Lurgeese in the sense they're glass cannons. They have a high base ac and some tricks they can pull to survive but only like 100 health so their CR is hard to accurately gauge. If I make it too high they're experience bags, as the Epic feat exceptional deflection utterly negates this, but too low and they're impossible for a lower level party to handle at all so I'm at a bit of an empasse. I thought I might get some negative feedback for this, so what CR do you think they should be? Taking all their abilites, not just that one attack in mind. I'm curious. Originally I was going to go with 15 but lowered it to 13, but let me hear your thoughts.
That is, however, why these are in the Sidereals thread and not the Sub Epic thread. These are going to trash a low level party unless they too get ahold of either a black hole shield or one of these weapons. Tbh or if the party can get the jump on them.
