Lol - they are handy yes....ive just picked up the myconoid dude who can raise so maybe i'll have to resort to that if things are stacked against me to much ....bulette ive dodged all but once so far & the once was a one round party wipe.....lol
Even without the raise ability ( which I haven't used ), the myconid Sovereign has a bonus action that creates a haste spore cloud in a 2m area, which can double the actions and move distance of the whole party, every round. He also has poison and confusion spore clouds that can be used every round as a result of the haste.
That made all the underdark encounters workable, even though I didn't bother with stealth or resting, so most encounters just used base attacks and cantrips. Without the Sovereign, life would not have been so good...
