Probably not that big a deal, and maybe a better idea to give a bunch of them necrotic powers to underline the connection.I like the new MMIII method of not giving monsters resistances and instead having the monsters punish you for using a less appropriate damage type against them.So how about: Trait:When a Manscorpion takes Necrotic damage, its damage increases by 5 until the end of it's next turn.I'd also like to see the Archers poisoning their arrows, how about:Apply Venom (minor; at will)All ranged attacks Manscorpion archer makes this turn gain ongoing 7 poison damage (save ends) on a hit.Worth trimming a couple of points off the attacks base damage if you decide to do this.
