I just picked up a writ I've never seen before. I thought, why not give it a shot because I like seeing new things. Thoramind's Workshop. Then this happened:
A Chest managed to kill me in like two or three rounds of combat. A paralytic poison with a DC of 16 in a dungeon where the other two enemies I'd seen were no trouble at all for a writ that IIRC rewards 500 gold?
That chest is way overtuned.
