[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9322069, member: 2209"] Sometimes that works fine, sometimes it is inappropriate. Ravenloft for example has rules for customizing vulnerabilities for individual vampires and mummies and ghosts and werebeasts and constructs and such based on their individual curses and backstories and the point is often for these things to be discovered in investigations and not just known with a roll. Sometimes the point of throwing in a purple ooze is that nobody but the DM who created them knows them and what works or does not work against them and so the players have the experience of going up against the unknown and try different things and get surprised when they accidentally hit them with damage types that do different things instead of damaging them. Sometimes a mix is appropriate "It looks a bit like a black dragon but the color is more like a dark mauve and some of the features seem like a warped version of a black dragon. You know black dragons are generally immune to acid and spit acid." [/QUOTE]
