[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6089163, member: 57383"] So, if we decide it doesn't have an "anatomy", does that mean it has a bunch of immunities to things that would affect creatures with organs? Hmm, I think we've got it mostly covered with the standard Elemental immunities (poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, critical hits, flanking, need not breathe/eat/sleep). The Original text has [I][SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman]"Portons are totally immune to all mind-affecting and death magic, and to poison. Slow, haste, and similar spells are also totally ineffective."[/FONT][/SIZE][/I], which suggests: Immunity to mind-affecting attacks, death effects, and effects that alter the flow of time ([I]haste[/I], [I]slow[/I], [I]temporal stasis[/I], et cetera). Suppose we could add immunity to disease to the list. Oh, and regarding the "Size Blindness", we shouldn't forget [SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman][I]"Since portons have no normal senses, darkness, blindness, silence, etc. are useless against them."[/I] That says [SIZE=3]t[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE]hey ought to have Blind, Deaf and Blindsense (they don't look like they deserve Blindsight) as well. The Listen and Spot penalties from those alone might be enough to explain their "Size Blindness". [/QUOTE]
