[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5990937, member: 57383"] I was thinking of applying a "half size" demotion to the existing creature (-4 Str, -2 Con), making it Str 33, Con 22, but I'd be OK with Str 31 and Con 20. Maybe average the two to Str 32, Con 21? Yeah, that could work. Capsize doesn't seem right for an Eel. I [I]might[/I] be willing to give them a "Ship Crushing" constrict attack, providing the target vessel is small enough. Are we going to be tweaking the HD? The Dragon version starts at 9 HD, then 13 HD, and ends up at 18 HD. 9 HD seems rather wimpy for a Gargantuan Eel, but I'd be happy to make it 13 HD - and probably a Dire Animal to boot. I'm also tempted to have it Advance to Colossal at some stage. Maybe at 24 HD? E.g.: [B]Super Eel[/B] 13 HD Gargantuan Dire Animal Str 31-33, Con 20-22 Advancement 14-23 HD (Gargantuan); 24-39 HD (Colossal) [/QUOTE]
