For different cultures, there's plenty of room in my world. I haven't had to address the issue of different rules/settings, but in practical terms I'm not sure I'd see much difference between "different planets" and "alternate material planes". For any one campaign, I think I can create plenty...

So I was thinking we could take a break from creatures, and I noted that I didn't see a Survivor - Skills in the metathread, nor do I recall there being one. But it seems like a pretty obvious one. Does anyone remember there being a Survivor - Skills thread?

Sorry, poor wording on my part. Should have said, "If a wizard with Arcane Ward active is subject ..."

Oni 10 Stone Giant 10 + 1 = 11 Storm Giant 9 - 2 = 7

Does anyone know if there is RAW answer for the following? If not, how do you handle it? If Arcane Ward is subject to a damage effect that allows a saving throw, does the ward a) use the wizard's saving throw, b) make it's own saving throw using the wizard's stats and proficiencies, c) make...

Oni 20 Stone Giant 17 + 1 = 18 Storm Giant 26 - 2 = 24 Troll 11

Another idea: for tiny or small base creatures, you could create a megaswarm by increasing the size and hit dice. And as it lost HP, it could break apart into smaller swarms. Obviously some details to be worked out, which I would do, but a little pressed for time atm.

Another possibility would be to multiply the base creature damage. Off the top of my head, maybe 4x for tiny base creatures, 3x for small, and 2x for medium.

First, generally I think these were great answers; so really I am just nitpicking here. But. As a matter of verisimilitude, I would only give bludgeoning, piercing, slashing resistance if the base creature is tiny, or, perhaps, small. But maybe I'm missing something. Not sure I understand the...

In post #256 @Fenris-77 marked Venom Troll as downvoted, but added 1 instead of subtracting 2. Ogre 12 Oni 27 Stone Giant 28 Stone Giant Dreamwalker 24 Storm Giant 28 Storm Giant Quintessent 13 Troll 18 Venom Troll 1
