[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5173305, member: 287"] Added to [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5173294-post925.html"]Homebrews[/URL]. Agreed to dropping swim speed and increasing land speed. Agreed. Amphibious works for me. We can note that in the flavor text, but I don't want to tinker with the ability. Sure, rend works here. I've seen mindless creatures with SLAs, so it's not necessarily problematic. Still, since they're both electricity effects, I could see rolling them into a Su ability. It'll help the save DCs as they advance. :cool: Something like... Electrical Strike (Su): A giant horseshoe crab may make a melee touch attack to deal xd6 points of electricity damage. When delivering the jolt, it gains a +3 bonus on its attack rolls if the opponent is wearing metal armor (or made out of metal, carrying a lot of metal, or the like). Thrice per day, a giant horseshoe crab can generate enough of a charge to release a x-foot line of lightning that deals xd6 points of electricity damage to all creatures within the area (Reflex DC 14 half). This otherwise functions like a lightning bolt spell. The save DC is Charisma-based. (We could change it to Con-based and lower Cha to a more reasonable number for its Int). "Vermin-like" is probably unnecessary, since the vermin type really only gets them immunity to mind-affecting stuff (which these already have) and vulnerability to a very limited number of spells.
