     Hey now! That was me, as it happens. I see it may well be a play 
style thing; Hydras are the easiest thing in the world to defeat, as 
long as you don't have any compulsion to try and kill them with 
unoptimised characters.

     Plus, I got brassed off that those arguing it was too deadly were 
adding +2 EL or more with encounter assumptions, making it the 
equivilent of a CR 6. Begging the question and all that.


     The Planetar? It's just plain bad monster design. If it wants 17th 
level casting it's got to be CR 17+ and have the HD and stats to sup****t 
that. Plus, summons can't possibly be balanced using CR or HD.
