And even if you succeed in getting a manageable number away from the main group so you can kill them easier, you have to watch them carefully cause they'll run in crazy directions. And you have to be super careful about patrols, cause they tend to be fast and unpredictable too.To translate this feel into D&D 3.x I would probably just base them off a standard goblin, except with a high burst speed, an evasion ability, and give them the aquatic subtype. Then I would role play them as *extremely* excitable--quick to rush into a fight, but also quick to flee. ("The murlocs are easily startled but they will soon be back, and in greater numbers.")Oh, and also: the loot. In WoW murlocs always had bizarre fish-themed vendor trash on their corpses... things like slimy eyeballs, shiny fish scales, smelly fish tails, etc. Be sure and have fun with that.EDIT: Also, if memory serves, they also used to have a lot of crowd control abilities--things like nets and hamstrings that made it hard to chase them down once they got it in their heads to bolt.</blockquote>
