Converting Monsters from Dungeon Magazine

I don't really care for the name "slowing poison"...how about sticking with "hunting poison" for that one? Or lets come up with something else.

The DC bonus vs. animal is an interesting idea. Any objections, freyar?

I actually liked hunting poison and slaying poison better, but was playing around with some alternatives.

Hunting and slaying works.

I won't object too strenuously to a DC bonus vs animals, but I'd rather just increase the DC all over. After all, humanoids are really animals, too.

 

[Shade]

Good point! How high shall we raise the DCs?

Not according to their Monster Type they aren't.

If we use a Bison as a typical "big game" it'd need a DC 18 to have a 50% of working, since that animal has a +7 Fort save.

I'd be OK dropping it to DC 15, like the Slaying Poison, for a 35% chance. The jungle dwarves are likely to shoot multiple darts at large prey items.

Either DC 15 or 18 works, so I'll let Shade decide.

 

[Shade]

So, DC 15 for both?

I'm willing to humour his opinion.

 

[Shade]

I honestly don't have a strong opinion on this! Just go with DC 15?

Go somewhere in-between, like 16?

 

[Shade]

16 it is! Updated.

Finished?
