[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5907612, member: 93930"] While they're about 8-9' tall or so, which is very bordeline Large, xenomorphs are very long-limbed and sort of skeletal looking. They're also hunched and seem to take up a lot of space. They [I]seem[/I] more like 10'x10' than 5'x5' to me, but to be honest I'm not totally sold on that. It could be that the basic strain is medium, while the warriors are large and the queen is huge. I said acid immune, cold resist, fire vulnerable. Acid immune for obvious reasons. Cold resist because they can survive in space, and fire vulnerability since flamethrowers seem to be the weapon of choice in the movies. Besides, it's nice to find a CR10-12 that isn't fire resistant or fire immune. +8 for stealth is a good one. For Escape Artist, you might want something closer to the Malleable ability from the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/vermin/slug-giant"]giant slug[/URL]. [INDENT][B]Malleable (Ex)[/B] A giant slug's body is very malleable, allowing it to fit into narrow areas with ease. A giant slug takes no penalty to its speed or checks when squeezing in an area that is one size category smaller than its actual size (10 feet wide for most giant slugs). A giant slug can squeeze normally through an area two size categories smaller than its actual size (5 feet wide for most giant slugs). [/INDENT]I like Rend, Spring Attack, and Death Burst. Shaken no save is a tough sell because you're talking about hardened warriors who've survived some pretty gruesome baddies to get to 10th level.
