[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5719902, member: 57383"] Yes, I'm thinking an 18-20 crit range or thereabouts. However, I prefer plain "tail" to "tail-barb". The rough draft looks like it could do with some cleaning up, though. The bit about which direction it throws its victim might belong in tactics more than the Special Attack writeup. What do you think of this... [B] "Gravity Fling"?? (Su):[/B] A ni'iath's tail-barb can create a gravity-manipulation field similar to the [I]reverse gravity[/I] spell. If a ni'iath scores a critical hit on an object or creature of up to Huge size, the target is flung 100 ft. away ([COLOR=Red]no save or critical confirmation roll necessary[/COLOR]). The ni'iath can gravity fling the target in whatever direction it chooses, if no strategically desirable direction exists the ni'iath flings the target in a random direction. During its flight, the flung object or creature feels no effects of gravity. At the end of its flight, the target again becomes sensitive to gravity and may take falling damage. The effect ends if the flung target hits an obstacle before travelling for 100 ft, but both the flung victim and the obstacle take 1d6? bludgeoning damage. Tactics Bit: Ni'iath always prefer to damage opponents by gravity flinging them into a nearby object or another enemy. Ni'iaths never fling opponents off cliffs or into hazards or concealment (sinkholes, dense fog, et cetera), since they wish to recover the body later to be devoured. [/QUOTE]
