Note: I used these guys on a 1st level party last night (13 Nov 09), and after that experience, I've concluded that "resist weapons 5" is worth about a reduction in hit points; so I valued it at 10 hps and reduced these guys accordingly.

Nice. I did one almost like this one (sans the 'clay storm' power), but made it Level 2. Also did a higher level Mud Man Mauler that grabs a foe and sticks it into its muddy form.

Great minds and all that.

I'm hoping that you guys are eventually gonna do a Tome of Horrors 4e?

Sweeeeet.

The original ToH was one of my firstest bestest 3rd party publisher purchases. Man do I love that book. With all the stuff left out of the MM1, there is plenty fertile ground for you to harvest.

BUT WotC has taken back the berbalang!
