[QUOTE="DizzyCrash, post: 7027818, member: 6873468"] So I am running a ancient samurai and ninja Japanese set game. And with the setting comes a slew of unique and deadly creatures that the monster manual does not have rules for. So I need a little help... This is what iv built so far for the giant skeleton that bites the heads off of travelers. I however seem to be having trouble with the bite attack. They do not seem to have a standard damage for a bite in the books. Dragons and wolves use a completely different die type with no simple conversion. I know Gargantuan creatures roll 4Die every time but I do not know the die type for many of there attacks. ( Also any other mistakes I could really use some help fixing up this beasty here ) [FONT=Georgia] [/FONT] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Georgia][B]Gashakuro[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial][I]Gargantuan Humanoid[/I][/FONT] [FONT=Arial] [/FONT] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Armor Class[/B] 17 (Natural Armor)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Hit Points[/B] 240[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Speed[/B] 50 ft.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Reach[/B] 20 ft[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]STR[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]23 (+6) [B]STR[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]10 (+0) [B]DEX[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]20 (+5) [B]CON[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]7 (+2) [B]INT[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]6 (-2) [B]WIS[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]8 (-1) [B]CHA[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Saving Throws: [/B]Dex +5, Con +8, Wis +0[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Skills: [/B]Athletics +13, Perception +4[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Damage vulnerabilities[/B] bludgeoning[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Damage Immunities[/B] poison[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Condition Immunities[/B] exhaustion, poisoned[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Senses[/B] darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 9[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Languages[/B] understands all languages it knew in life but can't speak[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial][B]Challenge[/B] 1/4 (50 XP)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]- 4 to AC and Attack Rolls.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]+ 12 Special Attack Modifier.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]+ 12 Size Bonus to Grapple Checks[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#6D0A00][FONT=Arial]Carrying Capacity + 8 times of a medium.
