[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9647074, member: 57383"] Also, if we're giving it standard giant Rock Throwing it'd have a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls so we'd need to make its poor depth perception penalty –3 if we want it to have a –2 total penalty like the original. It'd be simpler to just not give it the racial bonus to attack when chucking rocks. They appear to prefer melee. Furthermore, the AD&D version's rocks do 2d4+2 damage but it has a +4 bonus with hand-held melee weapons. Will we be doing anything with that? My preferred solution is to have its single arm be superstrong in melee so it's equivalent to a normal creature wielding two-handed for a 150% Strength bonus, but it just has the normal Strength modifier when chucking rocks.
