[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6876331, member: 57383"] I don't much care for it, to be honest. I'd prefer something a bit subtler. How about. [B]Attract Scorpions (Su):[/B] A master scorpion continuously generates a psychic call to all scorpions within a radius of X [2 miles per Hit Dice?]. This call attracts scorpions, monstrous scorpions, and monarch scorpions who become far more abundant within the radius of the call than they would normally (meaning random encounters with scorpions should be at least two or three times commoner than is typical for the habitat). Within the vicinity of the master scorpion's lair - a radius of X feet or so - the scorpion population becomes extraordinarily high. For every ?? Hit Dice the master scorpion possesses, there will be X scorpion swarms, Y monarch scorpions, Z1 Huge monstrous scorpions, Z2 Large monstrous scorpions and Z3 Medium scorpions. The master scorpion will use its Command Scorpions power (see below) to control a personal retinue of scorpions. The psychic call of the master scorpion prevents scorpions from attacking each other in the vicinity of its lair. When one of these scorpions gets hungry, it leaves the vicinity of the lair to hunt for food and returns once it is sated. Should any of the scorpions be killed, the master's Attract Scorpions ability will cause replacements to arrive in X days. * * * Hmm, we could probably cut the first paragraph out and leave that in flavour text if you'd prefer.
