[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8505693, member: 57383"] Oh, I'm undecided on the Multiattack. An AD&D Constrictor Snake and Boalisk has it, but Constrictor Snakes in 5E have lost the ability and can only Bite or Constrict as their Action. [I][B]Multiattack.[/B][/I] The boalisk makes two attacks: one bite attack and one constrict attack. I am wondering about giving it a "Rotting Glare" attack that inflicts its rot attack as well as or instead of its Rotting Gaze trait, probably modelled after the Dreadful Glare of a [B]Mummy[/B]. The 2E AD&D version of this monster has "The boalisk can use its[I] gaze[/I] on a single victim each round in addition to normal biting and constriction attacks" in its description, after all. So maybe: [I][B]Multiattack[/B][/I]. The boalisk makes two attacks: one constrict attack and one attack with its bite or glare. [I][B]Glare[/B][/I]. The boalisk targets one creature it can see within ## feet of it. If the target can see the boalisk, it takes 3d6 necrotic damage and be cursed with rotting sickness from the boalisk's Rotting Gaze (see above). If the target succeeds on a DC ## Constitution saving throw they take half damage and do not contract rotting sicking. Discussing the Rotting Gaze and/or Glare attack will have to wait. [/QUOTE]
