A well roleplayed Marut is great. As a CR 25 construct, it’s going to be enforcing a universal law, such as attempting to stop a world ending threat.
It’s primary aim is normally to planeshift it’s quarry to court, rather than kill them, and may even prefer not to kill those who come between that goal.
Unerring Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: automatic hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 60 force damage, and the target is pushed up to 5 feet away from the marut if it is Huge or smaller
I don’t get it.
Maruts don’t have to roll to hit - they’re creatures of true order, so they just hit when they plan to.
That is… terrifying
Good news is they really only exist to punish players who pissed off the DM, and would therefore hit anyways.
