	==Hunting strategies==		==Hunting strategies==
			Dybbuks do not cast magic or have maneuvers. They will sometimes be buffed by [[eidolon]]s. It is typically best to leave the dybbuks for last, since the [[waern]] have a hand biting maneuver that causes stunned RT with the potential to disarm, and the eidolons mostly cast warding spells (such as [[716\|Pestilence]] and [[718\|Torment]]) and curses that push down TD or cause itching which will also disarm. Dybbuks have more hit points than waern and eidolon.
	{{addmetext}}

			Due to the risk of being disarmed and knocked down in Bonespear Tower, it is common for magic users to bring cheap runestaves with [[Elemental Blade (411)]]. It will sometimes happen that a waern bites your hand off, for example, where the wound and stun makes you vulnerable so that another waern bites your other hand inflicting disease rounds, and then the tower shakes knocking you to the ground in an especially vulnerable way. The elemental flares will sometimes instant kill the waern and dybbuks, particularly by blowing up their heads. Eidolons are non-corporeal.
