Strength Exercises ---> Power Loan (?)
Seize ---> Deadly Grapple (or Crush-grapple)

Hmm, how about Power Building and Deadly Grasp?

 

[Casimir Liber]

sounds good

Updating the Gray Sqaarg.

I tweaked the Waxing Might example to mention Power Building.

Previously it was:

Example: if a druid with STR 10 (+0), WIS 15 (+2) attacked a gray sqaarg with a quarterstaff and thunderwave spell, the sqaarg gains Might 2 from the +2 ability modifier of the druid's Wisdom spellcasting ability. Two goblins with STR 8 (–1) then join the fray; each adds 1 Might to the sqaarg for a total of Might 4. If another gray sqaarg then grapples the example sqaarg, it adds its STR 20's +5 ability bonus and boosts the example gray sqaarg to its maximum Might of 8.

So are we done with the stab block now?

Another Description to work on then…

 

[Casimir Liber]

yep..

 

[Cleon]

yep..

Not feeling very inspired on this one.

There's little to go on in the original text, so maybe keep it fairly minimal?

I do like the idea of other colors of Sqaarg though, and am tempted to include it as a sage's theory or rumour.

 

[Casimir Liber]

I'll have a go then

 

[Cleon]

I'll have a go then

Might whip something up myself later today if I can muster up the energy, although I've got chores I really should do today or tomorrow.

Have to wait and see.

ok I'll leave you to it and give the stone giant wights a look-over and ponder venomwings....
