Was your intended design for the Shalin Hunter to not being able to be shot down from the trees, Nonesuch?

Could you explain what you mean?

Sure. The Shalin Hunter encounter does not have the "flying" buff, but is instead always out of reach of melee attacks.

I would like to know if this was your intended design for the encounter, since there is a mention in the combat text that states the hunter moves higher up into the trees to dodge Steele's attacks when they try to melee the guy. The combat description made me think that maybe you didn't consider his movements between the trees so much as traditional flying and therefore that could be the reason why the bird can't be shot down with stuff like the beanbag ammunition from the grenade launcher (has trip chance) and is just always out of reach for melee attacks to reach it because of that.

If I knew what your intention was, I would know if the current mechanics of the encounter are either bugged or just something that I'm not a great fan of because of their placement right after the train dungeon.
