[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5037229, member: 57383"] The Giant Sea Anemone conversion in the creature catalogue already has the multiple 4hp tentacles, only 3 of which can attack a M-sized target, I was just going to copy that. I'd be happy to make them an evil, intelligent tentacle-monster. I'd like Aberration for them more than Magical Beast. So, what other changes would we make to the [B] [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/cc/converted/view_c.php?CreatureID=1004"]giant sea anemone[/URL] [/B]apart from the type, speed, AC, bristles, increased acid damage, intelligence and alignment?
