[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5521810, member: 57383"] Hold your nippers! I've just noticed a few niggles with the Crystal Nipper Swarm. Firstly, the stats include the following lines: Immunities: Weapon damage Weaknesses: Swarm vulnerabilities Senses: Darkvision 60 ft. Languages: &[URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/misc.php?do=dbtech_usertag_hash&hash=8212]#8212[/URL] We've been using the SRD 3.5 format for our monsters, so do we want to reintegrate that information into Special Qualities and cut out the "Languages: &[URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/misc.php?do=dbtech_usertag_hash&hash=8212]#8212[/URL]" line?[INDENT][B]Special Qualities:[/B] Darkvision 60 ft., immunity to weapon damage, swarm traits, vermin traits [/INDENT]Secondly, it's got "Treasure: see text" but no mention of treasure in the text. The FR14 Crystal Nipper has Treasure: Nil, but then the AD&D version of the Rot Grub has the Nil Treasure too. Do we want to adapt the Rot Grub Swarm's "Rot grubs leave inorganic treasures in their wake. They devour wood, leather, and other goods.
