[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8464447, member: 57383"] Good! With or without the ALL CAPS and the EXCLAMATION!!!!!! mark? :p Updating [URL='https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/8299365'][B]Powerslug Working Draft[/B][/URL] with POWER! Added a "The effects on the host are detailed below (see POWER!)" sentence in Infestation. We also need to describe an end to POWER, tragic though that would be. I've added the following: [INDENT]If the infesting powerslug is removed, the host creature immediately loses all the physical ability bonuses and aggressiveness from the infestation, but they continue to be at risk of a fatal heart attack, retaining the Constitution check DC they had when the powerslug was removed. The damage to their heart can be healed as described above. Once the Con check is reduced to DC 1 or lower the host's heart is fully healed and the risk of a POWER! induced heart attack ends.[/INDENT] I'm tempted to put it all in Swim, since it's got a –5 Strength penalty it'd have +5 with 2 SPs. Hide is +14 with 2 SPs. I'm more inclined to put the two SP in Move Silently than Hide and maybe give it a +8 racial bonus to MS? It has Hide +12 from stats & size alone. Maybe a racial bonus to Hide or when Hiding in its preferred terrain? Or both? I'm leaning slightly towards Alertness over Stealthy.
