[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 1446285, member: 9191"] Imagine for a moment that you and three of your friends are walking into towards a cave where there have been odd reports of something. The village elders came to you because you and your friends handled that pack of kobolds and they think you can pretty much handle this. Silently creeping up to the cave suddenly some vaguely humanoid thing comes rumbling out. Jimmy, the ranger lets fly with an arrow which scores a blow, but doesn't seem to harm the creature at all, you pull your battle axe (masterwork even) charging the creature, raging, striking at it with all your might, your axe striking home with a tremendous clang, putting a small crease in it's armor. Glavax, the hedge wizard apprentice let's loose with a magic missiile which stikes home blackening it's armor where it hit. Ted, the accolyte from the temple of the war god strike with his diety's weapon of prefernce sliding off the things incredibly tough armor. Then to you horror all the wounds you previously inflicted disappear, it looks at you with it's empty eyes and a horrible sonic wail, killing all of you. You stare at the game master as he recounts the 48 damage from the maximized breath weapon. "Sorry guys, but the book said it was challenge rating 2." === Sorry for the melodrama, the very idea that that is CR2 seems preposterous, but that isn't your problem, it is the systems. Forgive my ignorance, but why do they have 30 HP and I didn't think constructs got feats. [/QUOTE]
