[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5995636, member: 57383"] Updating [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5992280-post701.html"][B]Guardian Droid Working Draft[/B][/URL] with 1d6 slam. I'd rather give it some kind of attack bonus than an increase to its Dex, as I've said earlier. The original monster has THAC0 15, the standard accuracy of a 4 Hit Dice monster. Maybe a +3 bonus to attack with its laser? We'd better decide on its ability scores and AC before we go too far. I've been thinking it over, and how about we make the basic droid about average intelligence (but note that it's a "pseudo-sapiency" with a lot of logic but no creativity), and have a "Defective Droid" subentry for a droid who's logic circuits are breaking down (with lower mental stats and a tendency to go into "Mite Mite" breakdown)? The original AC seems pretty low for a guardian, equivalent to +6 natural armour. Maybe they're not top-of-the-range? Or we could give them some resistance to energy weapons, since that's what they're armed with. Speaking of which, what damage shall its laser do? 2d6 like the original? Is it fire damage? The 3E [I][B]Dungeon Master's Guide[/B][/I] has a laser pistol and laser rifle we could use as a model. The laser pistol does 3d4 (Small) or 3d6 (Medium) with a 40 ft. Range Increment, the laser rifle does 3d6 (Small) or 3d8 (Medium) with a 100 ft. Range Increment. Neither lists a damage type, so I guess it's untyped. [/QUOTE]
