[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2062667, member: 1241"] I don't mean to pick on Erica, but I'm pretty sure this was her conversion. Don't ask me why she gave the lesser apes a more standard resistance, but gave the big guy an old school resistance. ;) given the HD, we might also want to bump up the lesser apes' resistance as well, and maybe make Oonga's higher than 10. "Grasping is an attack form which can be applied to any opponent of 8 feet or less height and weighing 500 pounds or less. The mighty ape simply wraps the creature within its grasp and squeezes. This inflicts 24 points of damage on the round grasping and squeezing occurs. The ape will then squeeze and hurl the opponent down to the ground and stamp on the victim, all during the second round after initially grasping. Hurling from a 40-foot height inflicts 10d6+12 (strength) points of damage. Oonga is also able to hurl boulders and similar missiles from 1 to 36" distance. These missiles will hit a target area of approximately 10 feet x 10 feet, and all creatures within the target area will receive damage. Damage is 5d4 + 12 (strength) and found separately for each creature struck." Sounds about right. ;) Those might just be fine. Another thing to discuss: As you know the Beast type is GONE. ;) they are too smart for animal, so the obvious choice falls to Magical Beast or even Monstrous Humanoid if we'd be so bold. ;) Now, this passage might make someone more familiar with the module than I think about things like extraplanar origins: "It is certain that these monsters are not native to this place. They, as the other inhabitants, were seeded on the island for whatever odd purpose Zagyg had in mind when he devised the demi-plane." [/QUOTE]
