[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 3286228, member: 5889"] For the Combat Reflexes issue, there are four main ways to interpret it: 1) Combat Reflexes works the same as it always does, the clause just allows AOOs with any head. That means with a dex of 12, a hydra gets 2 AOOs per round, but still only one per provocation. 2) Combat Reflexes now grants a number of AOOs equal to the number of heads the hydra has, but still only 1 per provocation. So a 7th headed hydra gets 7 AOOs per round. 3) Combat Reflexes allows all of the heads to attack on an AOO, but doesn't grant any additional AOOs. So a 7th headed hydra gets 1 AOOs per round, but in that AOO there are 7 head attacks. 4) Combat Reflexes grants both additional AOOs and allows all head attacks per AOO. So a 7th headed hydra with a dex of 12 gets 2 AOOs per round, and every AOO includes 7 head attacks. I've brought up this topic before on the boards, and it was never completely sorted out which version you use. The power of your hydra will be dramatically altered depending on which version you use, 1 is the weakest hydra, 4 is the strongest. [/QUOTE]
