Giving it a 120 foot range is more than I'd care for.That was the maximum distance I was tempted to give the ginormous Mastigoproctus (going by the 80 cm maximum range quoted for the spray I stumbled upon online and the 85mm maximum body length of a uropygid), but ended up halving it.Schizomids are tiny animals - rarely more than 5mm long in real life. 120 feet would be thirty to sixty times the giant schizomid 2 to 4-foot body length.There's a few other problems:Firstly, short-tailed whip scorpions are eyeless and the giant version wouldn't be able to see anything outside the 60 ft. range of its blindsight. How would it be able to target something 120 feet away?Secondly, if it's a missile attack, it should have some effect if it hits. The Dex save would probably reduce the duration rather than cancel it. It should also stick closer to standard ranged attack formatting.i.e. rather than:Vinegaroon Spray (Recharge 4-6). Missile Attack: +4 to hit. The schizomid shoots a missile of irritant acidic liquid from glands near its tail at a single target up to 120 ft away; if struck, the target must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, failure results in Disadvantage on all actions for 1d6 rounds or until target is doused in water.I'd suggest something like:Acetic Squirt (Recharge 4-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: the target must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, failure results in blindness for 1d6 rounds, on a success the target is blinded for 1 round.After musing it over, I decided to tweak my <a href="https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8492293" target="_blank">Giant Schizomid</a>'s Blinding Spray by giving it a Recharge of 6 instead of 5-6 and making it a line instead of a cone.The previous version was:</blockquote>
