[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9245949, member: 57383"] I've been thinking over how to upgrade (or should that be "exalt"?) the thrall's various powers, and realized that to keep things balanced the thrall's [i][b]Breath of Pazreal[/b][/i] really needs to require Concentration and preferably have a rule restricting how many swarms can attack the same target. If not, the Exalted Thrall will be able to have nine demonic locust swarms attacking at the same time as it makes its own attacks. Plus the [i][b]Swarm[/b][/i] trait as written does not put any limit on how many swarms you can have in the same space ("The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa") meaning all nine swarms would be able to attack the same opponent. Nine swarms each doing 4d6 damage is 126 (36d6) damage, which is a bit too nasty for the Challenge 7 or 8 creature we're aiming for! While I suppose we could make it so it only requires Concentration for MULTIPLE demonic locust swarms to spare me from having to reedit the regular Thrall of Pazuzu, I'd rather do so for the sake of consistency and simplicity. So I propose changing the [b][url='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9180468']Thrall of Pazuzu[/url][/b] so its [i][b]Breath of Pazreal[/b][/i] is "The swarm vanishes back to the lower aerial kingdoms after 6 rounds [COLOR=magenta]or if the thrall loses concentration[/COLOR]."
