Are the Sarrukh in the Serpent Kingdoms books underpowered or their CR overestimated? They are a CR 21 creature, but actually seem considerably weaker than the last two encounters my party had. A green dragon dracolich and a nightwalker, both CR 16's and both seem considerably more formidable then the Sarrukh. |

I believe that Rich stated that the CR should be more like CR 11. This discussion is over on the "Boards that Shall Not be Named" in the FR Ask the Designers thread, about midway down page one. |

There has been much debate on this over at the WotC boards. Sarrukh are powerful and dangerous mainly to their creations, because they can warp and mutate them at will. Against others they aren't quite so dangerous. Also, Sarrukh will be surrounded by tons of minions, you won't fight one by itself. |

If your party is a lizard race I would think it would be an epic type encounter. Sarrukh are significantly lower in CR, but I can't remember where I read it. |
