5th round... keep in mind that whomever picks highest in this round will go dead last in the next round. And there are 7 scores below a 10, so whomever goes dead last will at best get a 9... :D

:confused: Uhm... you do realize 3d4 is a symmetric distribution, right? So the chance of rolling above average on 3d4 is... exactly 50%! 3d4 does give you a much more *reliable* damage output, so you're more likely to get something which is close to the average. That's not always a good thing...

<bump> C'mon, we just need one more vote for Discorporating Chaos, and two for Superior Swarm. :D

Are they just so used to seeing damage listed as (x-y)? That has always seemed like a very nonintuitive representation to me. Instead, you could simply tell them how much damage the weapon does on average, plus give them some indication of its variability. For example, you might have a very...

Do you just want a simple formula to turn a range like [a-b] into 1dx+y? because that's easy: [a-b] == 1d(b-a+1) + (a-1) If you have to worry about multiple dice, things get... well, more dicey! ;) For one, there may be multiple solutions. For example, [4-13] could be done as 1d10+3 or 3d4+1...

Yeah, that's what I had in mind too. Except a different "manufactured" weapon for each attack. Could be a greataxe one attack, a whip the next... Could someone give an overview of the consequences of having these weapons count as natural vs manufactured weapons? I could see it go either way...

Nah - too chaotic. Maybe we should have a poll on whether it should be *intelligent* first.

How about this; due to it's continually changing form, the creature's attack form changes from round to round, and even from attack to attack. Before each attack, roll randomly on the melee weapon table to see what it attacks with. (Alternatively, pick any weapon from the weapon table, but you...

And what is the point of this? Apart from the obvious satisfaction you seem to get from putting them in an unwinnable situation, or course...

That's not the point. It's not that I wouldn't want to tie all these creatures to one specific home plane. I was proposing these creature would effectively have *no* home plane. Sort of a "Wandering Jew" type creature: no direction home... Yes, I recognize this would require some sort of...

Wow - there's still a 15 and 14 INT left on the table, and people are already scrabbling for 12's. Wouldn't have expected that... No Wizards or Rogues?

Still voting for "none" if that is technically possible. Otherwise any chaotic or Pandemonium. Limbo or Mechanus just have the wrong connotations for me.

Little slow on this poll, so let me bump it by explaining my own choices... Seems like all three voters so far agree on a Fly speed for the swarm, and a Land speed for the coalesced form. I imagine it as something like a swarm of bees that occasionally can gather into something a lot more...

Humans dull? I guess centuries of fiction writers would disagree with you on that! I'm with Zappo: there's no bland races, only bland characters...

Is "none" an option for home plane? Seems chaotic enough that it may just wander the planes rather than being specifically associated with one over any others. Dunno how well that meshes with planar mechanics though. Spells like Dismissal etc. might simply not work, or just send the creature to...

Heh - looks like you'll be able to get at least a 16 in STR or INT next round then.

No kidding! :D The Disguise Self route could have been interesting too though... Looking over CD04 again, it seems that next time, we should really include some suggestions on scaling the encounters for higher or lower level parties. Many of these encounters are with a single opponent, which...

Some more ideas for other rooms: 3. Shrine to Hrauk: Bagrak and Fang Karak will be overwhelmed by 6 PC's. I would suggest to have Shastrix fly to the hallway to rooms 7 and 8, scream out a warning, and come back to defend Fang Karak. 10. Storage Room: Play Nestiphae *smart*. She knows she's...

Hm... number of opponents is the obvious one. With a party of 6, I wouldn't hesitate to throw 50% more opponents at them in a big brawl like you just had. I doubt they would have fared as well if they had been faced with 4 more regular gnolls in that encounter. In addition, you have the...

You should be able to find it in tea bags in any place that has a good selection of herbal teas. I know Traditional Medicinals has a Yerba Mate. Actually, I have a pack of their Ginger Yerba Mate sitting right here. I'm sure you can get it online as well. You even start to see the loose Yerba...
