[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7525467, member: 15700"] That's not what I"m saying at all. Might want to reread my post, because if that's what you think I said, you clearly didn't. I'm saying it doesn't make sense for a purple worm to sneak attack and keep going after a creature too big for it to swallow when there are plenty of smaller bite sized portions right there. And it makes no sense for it to completely ignore the softer targets right there in front of it in order to go after a metal heavily armed target far away. And just so happened to make it's poison attack against the PC with the best ST? That scenario couldn't have been played worse to set up the PW for failure than it was described. Reminds me of CapnZapp's actual play session a while ago when he played the bad guys in the worst way possible to set them up for failure. So yeah, technically it's taste. But if you as the DM have the "taste" to neuter your monsters to be the most worthless, then don't complain or make assumptions about a particular edition plays when it's clearly not played like that by most. In fact, the OP's other thread complaining about how magic makes suffering moot also reminds me of Capnzapp when he was complaining about how ToA jungle rules were all worthless because magic overrides everything. Hmm...brand new account, posting same arguments....hmmm... (I'm kidding of course, but now that I think about it, it is an odd coincidence lol) [/QUOTE]
