[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8492005, member: 57383"] Wow, that's like 10 times its body length or more. For an 8-foot Vinegaroon, that's a lot further than the 15-foot cone of our 5E conversion or the 20-foot radius of the AD&D original. It's more like 60-feet! Why did we make the range less than the AD&D original again? I wonder, does the real-life animal squirts a stream at a target, or just spray an area. If it squirts a targeted stream, a more accurate interpretation might be "a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide" rather than a cone. Or perhaps it can do both, squirt a 60 ft. line or a 20 ft. cone? I'd rather not fiddle with the Uropygid any further though. If we were to upgrade it with a longer range spray I'd stat it separately as a giant [B][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelyphonida']Thelyphonida[/URL][/B] - that's what these arachnids are called these days, after all. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow as well as the Schizomid, just to keep me occupied. The AD&D Giant Uropygid went up to 12 feet in length, so the 8-footer we just statted could just be the regular-sized giant version of this arachnid! If I did do a jumbo version I'd boost its numbers to make it Challenge 2. Hmm, perhaps calling it a Giant Uropygid ([I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastigoproctus']Mastigoproctus[/URL][/I]) would make more sense? Anyhow, it's way too late over here to start statting up either of these babies. G'night! [/QUOTE]
