[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4997563, member: 57383"] No need to remind me, 'cause I already knew. Str 30 is a bit low for a Gargantuan Animal. e.g. the Gargantuan SRD [I]Triceratops [/I]would be Str 38, a [I]Tyrannosaurus [/I]Str 35 (or Str 42 for my Redux version), a Giant Squid Str 34, a Gargantuan Whale Str 35. Or think of it this way, if you shrunk it down to Medium old Spiny would be Strength 6. Now as I said earlier I cheated a bit and built it as an "Enormous critter" (+20 Str instead of a Gargantuan's +24), so it it based on Str 10, but it still don't feel quite right to me. I was wondering how long it would take you to put your preference for switching between Short & Long reaches into my proposed size scheme, I'd noticed it was a pretty neat fit.:) Yes, I've seen versions of that around various fora but I'm not that enamored of it. Apart from it being rather fiddly as far as bookkeeping goes, it implies its damaging its opponent's overall health like a poison rather than just straightforward wound-shock. Plus, 2 Con isn't that much, so it would probably be killing its target by hit point loss anyway it just seems easier having a special attack that does more hp damage and cut out the middleman, so to speak. Although I am wondering about having it do Strength damage, to represent it ripping muscle and crushing bone. EDIT-click-click-click-SAVE What [I]Megaraptor[/I]? I don't see no [I]Megaraptor[/I], you must have imagined it.:p [/QUOTE]
