[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6846906, member: 57383"] Yes, I was thinking of including formians and [I]probable[/I] giant ants and giant termites in the sample immune critters list. Yes, it's a tricky question how to balance it. We don't want it trivially low or so high that all or most of the PCs fail four saves and get KO'd before they get very far into the nest. However, we're talking a whole hive here so the PCs will be facing gangs of soldiers, so they probably aren't that low a level. Remember that a dozen CR 2 warriors are, on paper at least, a CR 9 encounter. That's a pretty good match to the original adventure, which was level 5-7 and had encounters with groups of 2d6 warriors at a time (or 2d10 in the royal apartment). I'm more inclined to go for somewhere from DC 12 to the standard fallback of DC 15 (which is also coincidentally the Con-based DC of a standard 2 HD Isopterite). Maybe go for the middle of the 10-15 range and make it DC 13? [/QUOTE]
