[QUOTE="ax0n, post: 826907, member: 1360"] Hi Moonsword, Again, excellent work on the anarch and symmetrion templates. They're really coming along. Here are some of my thoughts on each: [b]Symmetrion:[/b] I thought it might be an idea for symmetrions to be like their template animals, except a bit spidery (kinda creepy). For example, and symmetrical, eight-legged dog that scuttles about. Otherwise, very good flavor text. I still suggest creatures become the Outsider (Lawful) type when they adopt this template. I also think it might be an idea to make them immune to critical hits or flanking as they do not have a clear front or back, like elementals. Not sure on the subject of adding extra limbs: you could specify a extra limbs progression table that gives corresponding balancing increments to the CR? I thnk one or two extra limbs is actually quite a large bonus (at least an extra point of CR). Thoughts other people? [b]Anarchs:[/b] This is good but I still think it needs "something" to make chaos creatures special. Symmetrions have the symmetrical thing going on: what should we give anarcs? here are some of me ideas: * Shapeless and indisnct, perhaps causing insanity on anyone who looks directly at them. * Extra limbs and heads, but in a much more chaotic fashion than symmetrions? * One chaos being is composed of many physically seperate bodies under the control of the above. * All of the above and more: a random table generating monstrously chaotic effects. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
