[QUOTE="Beefermatic, post: 9192849, member: 6670757"] This is sweet, The John Gardner book, Grendel is one of my favorite books of all time. If you haven't read it, pick it up, it's awesome. That said, if I could make a suggestion, in the John Gardner book, Grendel has an encounter with a dragon who "blesses" Grendel with invulnerability, all attacks from weapons simply lose momentum before they hit him, and it's not until Beowulf, who had enough strength to swim across an ocean in a single evening and cut a dragon in half lengthwise, bifurcating it, with a dagger, ambushed Grendel, grabbing Grendel and tearing his arm off at the shoulder with his bare hands did Grendel finally die after fleeing into the woods. So, in the spirit of that, I'd ask that you give him a Dragon's Blessing that makes him simply immune to Piercing, Bludgeoning and Slashing damage from a non Epic or Mythic source. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, this is cool as hell. I do find his ability to not be grappled ironic as thats what actually killed mythological and literature Grendel though. 🖤♠️🖤♠️ [/QUOTE]
