[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5975346, member: 3400"] It does? I'm having a hard time drawing the connections from one statement to another.[list] [*]Large creature = elite? All the time? [*]Equivalent to 5th level PCs, and that means 10d10 hit points? Each level is worth 2 hit dice? Does elite tie in with that somehow? [*]The minotaur has 10 hit dice but doesn't gain any attack bonus from that at all? His bonus might be the same as a 1st level character with an 18 strength? Should the math get flattened [b]that[/b] much? [*]Armor doesn't stack with other types of armor? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Natural armor no longer stacks with armor? [*]A hill giant with only +3 to hit? That's no better than the orcs in the play test Caves of Chaos. [/list] This really just raises more weird questions than it answers. I don't have much insight into the rationale behind these statements. [/QUOTE]
