[QUOTE="Plaguescarred, post: 6254963, member: 6701422"] This sounds like a fun entreprise! Good luck and i hope the boys like their experience with D&D Next. Personally, i think it runs like a breeze and is really fun to DM! As for the Otyugh, i think it'd make for a formidable solo, it has a low AC and can multiattack and grab multiple foes, which is good against a party. You could always use a young otyugh that is so fat that it is still large in size. Just don't overuse Tentacule Slam and it should be okay. Here's what it could look like if you want a quick statblock for it; [B]Young Otyugh Large Aberration Armor Class[/B] 13 [B]Hit Points [/B]65 (8d10 + 21) [B]Speed[/B] 20 ft.

The extent of this communication is limited to simple ideas only. ACTIONS [B]Multiattack:[/B] The otyugh makes one bite attack and two tentacle attacks. [B]Melee Attack—Bite: [/B]+5 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature). [I]Hit: [/I]8 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage and 4 (1d6) poison damage.

The otyugh can have up to two creatures grappled at a time. While using a tentacle to grapple a creature, the otyugh can make that tentacle’s attack only against the grappled creature. [B]Tentacle Slam:[/B] Each creature grappled by the otyugh must make a DC 10 Strength saving throw. [I]Failed Save: [/I]8 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is stunned until the end of its next turn. [I]Successful Save:[/I] Half damage, and the target is not stunned.
