Tactics

Despite appearances the Addled Frog his a ridiculous high Armour Class thanks to its Mucus ability and having Mirror Image when the fight begins. While it may have one attack, it's quite powerful and its AoE can hit multiple party members if they are grouped up. It will also use Jump quite often to create distance. Also be weary of the first ranged attack or spell that hits it since, it will be reflected back.

While the Frog proves to quite deadly, it has relatively few Hit Points, and so is vulnerable to a well-prepared melee fighter. If it's Mucus trait is gone, a burst or two of Magic Missile will also likely kill it. However, considering the the Frog only gives one experience and drops nothing, its not worth picking a fight with it.
