[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9229711, member: 57383"] [EDIT]There's also a reply on [b][url='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9229709']Post #300[/url][/b] that will probably appear on your browser's previous page.[/EDIT] Here's a bit of feedback to get us started: First off, does it need to be Large? The AD&D Crimson Death (AC 0, HD 13, Dam 3d10) is a lot more powerful than a Vampiric Mist (AC 4, HD 3, Dam 1d8) but both are M in side. Secondly, having both [i][b]Hungry Mist[/b][/i] do damage seems redundant since it has [i][b]Siphoning Presence[/b][/i] too. The original Vampiric Mist also couldn't pass through solid objects, so it doesn't need that bit about taking force damage if it ends up inside something. Why not just give it [i][b]Misty Form[/b][/i] like the official Vampiric Mist rather than reinventing the wheel? [indent][i][b]Misty Form.[/b][/i] The mist can occupy another creature's space and vice versa. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can pass through it without squeezing. Each foot of movement in water costs it 2 extra feet, rather than 1 extra foot. The mist can't manipulate objects in any way that requires fingers or manual dexterity.[/indent] Incidentally, the Crimson Death could also carry objects despite its vaporous form: I'd wonder about giving the "Death" version the ability to manipulate objects and leave the "can't manipulate" bit in the [i][b]Misty Form[/b][/i] of the weaker "Vampire" version: [indent][i][b]Misty Form #2.[/b][/i] The [[color=magenta]crimson death/blood mist/vaporous meanie/etc[/color]] can occupy another creature's space and vice versa. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can pass through it without squeezing. Each foot of movement in water costs it 2 extra feet, rather than 1 extra foot. The [[color=magenta]NAME[/color]] can partially solidify to touch objects within its body but its vaporous tendrils have no strength or substance outside its space. It can manipulate objects within its space in ways that would require fingers or manual dexterity.[/indent] [/QUOTE]
