[QUOTE="MostlyDm, post: 7012688, member: 6788973"] As is always the case when someone complains about something being changed/added/expanded/etc, on some level, they [I]must[/I] know that the thing they like still exists and isn't being changed. The change is just an option. Doesn't stop me from complaining about all the terrible unnecessary changes from the books in the Game of Thrones TV show, though. ;) So yeah, I know you're not really replacing the monsters in the book, you're just adding to them. I just wanted to expound a bit on why I think HP and Damage don't scale the same with level, and aren't, IMO, supposed to. You do what you want. I think you have some good design sensibilities, and lots of cool ideas, so as always don't take my criticism as an attempt to shut you down. Although I do think the Marilith with 2 shields and a bow is kind of... silly. I dunno. I'll probably just give my marilith some spells and a straightforward magical ranged attack that they can fling, since I prefer the visual aesthetic of a Marilith sporting 7 huge terrifying blades.
