Just added a Description to the Resin-Hound.
Just remembered another Pine Kindred we talked about statting up.
Let's hope I'll finish these things eventually!

Shouldn't we be continuing with the Gurgohemoth?

I started a rough draft of the Tree-Vargr.

yes! what you wanna focus on (in its statblock) next?
Cleon
Legend
Er, yes.
That's what we're currently working on.
I can always update my Pine Kindred Homebrews meanwhile as the whim takes me.

So we're currently on Special Traits for the Gurgohemoth.
Magic Resistance is a no-brainer.
Presumably they'll have some sort of Trampling attack like the Trampling Charge of the Gurgotch.
Maybe not exactly the same. It's so enormous (if we're going by Legend of the Swords scale) it ought to be able to walk right over Medium or even bigger creatures in its path, crushing them underfoot like ants. Maybe if it knocks a small enough target prone it just keeps on going?
If it needs to burn a bonus action to Stomp as it tramples it'll be only able to trample one opponent a round. I was thinking more of an area of effect type attack (i.e. as wide as its space and X feet long, and creatures it walks over must make DEX saves to avoid being stepped on).
That might make more sense as an Action against lesser foes, with Trampling Charge being employed against larger opponents.
Oh, and it needs Legendary Resistance to give it a bit of protection, i.e.:
Legendary Resistance (3/Day): If the gurgohemoth fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
That might do for the Special Traits.

ok added Legendary resistance - its con (27) is +8 so CON save bonus is +14. So trampling charge is only at a single creature of size L or larger?
