[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4738245, member: 19083"] Well I designe dthem to fit within their description and also their role :) Tembo always had many powers to use, but they are stated as being very chaotic and beyond favouring attackign form stealth and against weak targets, they are very chaotic in what way they will fight, ie, what powers. I'd have included also a pounce attack, as that was a speical high damage one they had before, but ran out of space :p The idea being, folk should neve rbe sure of what the heck these deadly and veyr hated little horrors will do. Size ha sno beairng on speed when it comes to magical/psionic beasties and think of the speed of a hair or cheetah ;) To be a "Lurker", they need the ability to hit and run, shadow form and higher speed do that, so it is important. They are [I]feared [/I]creatures, in 2nd ed, they had level drain which was grossly overpowered as we all know especially for a 4 HD beast in Athas where undoing that drain wans't at al likely at that level, jeesh!! So I think a limited-use bite that "weakens" or for higher powered versions, make the vicitm lose a healing surge and weaken, is more in line with the concept. So a skulking horror that your never sure what attack it will make: a bite that leaves you weak; a ranged life drain, a blast that damages everyone, but you know willl likely go for the weakest party member or NPC, from stealth is good for the game ;) necrotic, okydoky good call mate! :) [/QUOTE]
