[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5609923, member: 57383"] I checked the sources and the version shade posted is from Dragon Mountain, not the MCA1. There aren't any significant differences between the two, so it matters little. A few words on the working draft. I gave it a Constrictor Snake's Strength, since it does really impressive damage with its snout. I'm thinking the DR should be 10/ or even 15/, since 1/4 damage is quite impressive for AD&D. You might notice I dropped the standard snake's Swim speed, since presumable this snake sinks like a stone. I'm not sure about whether to keep the 20-25 ft. length. A Huge Purple Worm would be 40 feet or so, so it seems rather short. We could either (1) Reduce its size to Large and keep the length. (2) Increase the length to something more typical for a Huge serpent. (3) Keep the length and say stone snakes are atypically massive for snakes, being exceptionally thick bodied like a pit viper [I][B]and made of granite[/B][/I]. Of those options, I currently prefer (3). [/QUOTE]
