[QUOTE="Casimir Liber, post: 8487062, member: 6947639"] Yes that works - I like the "recharge on X" mechanic as more random than just "every 3 rounds" or whatever as adding some suspense via randomness. The bottom haunting howl is good - 4-24 nandie-apes seems a reasonable number - substantial enough to be a problem but not huge. Why is DC 12 in brackets - you thinking it might be better lower or higher? Maybe DC 10 as if hits all creatures could be a might overpowered? Had missed bite by accident - added now - the 2d6+4 damage represents both claws as that seems the 5e way of doing things Regarding its stealth - the folklore and 1e lore has it preferring darkness - so maybe make stealth Advantage on low light situations such as night-time.....?
