[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6463664, member: 57383"] I'm OK with the Poison in the current draft, but would be happy to consider any modifications you fancy. Well it is still "redded out" for review. Rather than having it simply collapsing in the gravity/air envelope of an object larger than itself, I was thinking we could just have it take damage that scales to the size of the object. Maybe something like 1d12 damage, plus an additional 1d12 for every time the weight multiplies by 10? That way it'd still take fatal damage if it gets too close to a planet but is able to survive brief contact with larger objects close to its own size (e.g. combat with a Gammaroid). For example, if an average Noble Gossamer weighs somewhere around 400 to 500 tons, a 2,000,000-ton Gammaroid is 5,000 to 4,000 times heavier and would cause 4d12 "gravitational" damage per round to a Noble Gossamer within its zone of influence. (A Noble Gossamer is 120-250 feet in diameter in the MC9, if we start at 120 ft. and scale up the 6-inch diameter 1-ounce Standard Gossamer we converted, the weight comes out at 432 tons) It'd be simpler if we say it "collapses" in the gravity field of a planet(oid) sized object, but is fine near smaller objects. Maybe have it so it takes an object a million times more massive than it to kill it? Alternatively, we could combine the two into a little "Gravitational Damage by size/mass" table like we did with the Gossamer Swarm. [/QUOTE]
