[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6429707, member: 57383"] I'd rather not increase the Gossamer Noble's HD. Gossamer Nobles are the preferred prey of Gammaroids, so it's quite plausible they can't match a Gammaroid in a one-on-one fight. They may only offer a real threat/challenge to a Gammaroid when the Giant Space Turtle is facing a bunch of Gossamer Nobles - they do live in "flotillas" of up to 8 individuals, remember. Also, Gossamer Nobles have twenty attacks with a really ridiculous Reach, so if each has a respectable damage then they can easily outmatch a Gammaroid in basic damage output - e.g. if each tentacle does, say, 1d6 plus 2d6 acid that's 210 average damage if they all hit, and that's without including a Strength bonus. Oh, and the hardened abilities is probably necessary to prevent the Gossamer Noble easily paralyzing the Gammaroid, who's Dex 6 means it wouldn't require that many points of Dexterity damage to paralyze. P.S. A Gammaroid's natural weapons average 147 damage, so assuming they miss on a 1 and do a crit on a 19-20 a full attack would do roughly 154 average damage, not 144. [/QUOTE]
