[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5232578, member: 57383"] Okay then. Would 2d6 be enough to merit CR6? The original monster did 4d4 which suggests 2d8 or 3d6 as an alternative. Let's see, CR6 creatures include: [B]Average Xorn [/B]- Bite 4d6+3 and 3 claws 1d4+1 (27.5 average) [B]Megaraptor [/B]- Talons 2d6+5 and 2 foreclaws 1d4+2 and bite 1d8+2 (27.5 average) [B]Average Salamander [/B]- Spear 1d8+3/x3 plus 1d6 fire and tail slap 2d6+1 plus 1d6 fire (22.5 average) [B]Girallon[/B] - 4 claws 1d4+6 and bite 1d8+3 (41.5 average) Going by those figures it looks like two 2d6+6 or 2d8+6 slams should be enough (average 26 or 30 damage). Which do you prefer? Since you don't mind either way I'll use the Gargantuan progression, just because it fits better with the Advancement in my conversion of the larger version of the AD&D Mimic, namely the "Killer Mimic".
