[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8826334, member: 57383"] 240 feet it is, will add it to the [B][URL='https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8820860']Fire Archomental[/URL][/B]. Also, I've realized its to hit numbers be +13 rather than +12 since the Firemental's DEX is higher than its STR. A standard CR 5 Fire Elemental had +6 to hit from its DEX 17, not +3 from its STR 10. I'd be fine having it be shorter than longbow range. Maybe it hurls these bolts like a giant hurls rocks. So long as it's comparable to the range of the spells and weapons its opponents might be using against it it works for me. What's the longest range attack spell a Firemental's likely to face? Most are shorter than a bowcast: [I]chain lightning[/I] (150 ft.) or [I]freezing sphere[/I] (300 ft.) seem the most likely spells and longbows are 600 ft. I suppose it'll face an occasional [I]meteor swarm[/I] (1 mile!) but I'd be reluctant to give its bolts a range of thousands of feet without weakening them somehow. You know, I'm wondering whether it should cost the Fire Archomental a point of Firepower to throw a bolt? Or maybe it costs points to throw more than one bolt in a round? Oh, and I thought Archomental's where like as big as a house, not godzilla sized. Imix is 18 feet tall in most official stats and is rated Large or Huge, except for [I]Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil[/I] where he's Gargantuan with an unstated size, although being 3E he'd likely be in the 32 to 64 foot height range. That's not the 160 feet minimum of Godzilla, who started out as a 50 metre monster. [/QUOTE]
