I like to prepare in a way that at the table things are easy. That way I can concentrate on the moment. I had ChatGPT create a boss for my party to fight. This was a Holy Prophet of Valkur. One nice thing Chat does is adds a few bullets at the end about tactics.
Tactics
fairly easy to follow one. I worked a bit so that I had two rollable tables (one for Preaching, one for doubting) that would appear as an ability button for every token I selected (something I'll disable once they are done with these cultists) so that even minions might spit out a comment once in awhile. I set it up so that the comments would appear in the chat, under the name of the token. I don't know what I did to add the highlight but its there and I like it.
- Opens with call lightning if outdoors
- Uses control water to dominate terrain
- Preaches even while fighting

Takes minimal effort and i'm happy with the results. Hopefully the players will notice and appreciate it.
The examples of rollable tables from the different modules I've bought were all uninspiring so I ignored rollable tables until now but my eyes are open to possibilities. I can imagine:
- a barroom brawl with a rollable table I click once inwhile that might produce a flying chair (or hobbit) or someone lit on fire in the back. The kind of crazy things that happen in a barroom brawl that don't really happen in a RPG fight.
- Comments orcs or other foes make during combat, doesn't have to be religious zealots.
- A big pitched battle I imagine I could come up with some fun things as well.
- Comments folks in a tavern or the streets say, I could have ChatGPT make a list and spit them out into the comments. Could feed out rumors this way.
Lots of possibilities. Curious how it works out in play.
