We can leave the decaying metal stuff for the flavour text.I'd prefer straight immunity to poison.Firstly, if it has a weird metallic biology, I doubt regular poisons would have much effect on it.Secondly, in my experience if it's just a +X to Fort saves or whatever, it's a lot more likely to get forgotten in the heat of combat. If it says "immune to poison" in the SQ then the DM is a lot more likely to remember it.I was going to quip along the lines of "burn the heretic who prefers 4E to 3E!" but, frankly, I have nothing against 4th edition. There's a lot of sound ideas in it. I'm not in favour of the break from previous-edition flavour and abundance of dissociative rules. However, I'd happily play it. The main reason I gave it a miss is I've already got piles of AD&D, BECMI, 3rd edition and Pathfinder stuff. I'd mainly be getting it for  adventures and monsters. I haven't been impressed by the adventures, and find Pathfinder monsters have more flavour.At the moment I'm cautiously optimistic about D&D Next, although I haven't seen enough to get a clear idea yet. I'm in the "will probably get the core rules, and will see how it goes from there" stage.</blockquote>
