Assuming they notice the pattern that turns the fight into more of a puzzle, where the pulse turns can be used for resource recovery actions without feeling like they are losing ground on the damage race | |

Not only you confirmed my fear of it easily becoming more frustrating than actually challenging, but you actually showed me a very interesting alternative to base on (I honestly never took much attention to the sibriex when looking at the creatures in Mordenkainen's tome and had never noticed such an ability). | |
