[QUOTE="shadowgriffen, post: 5976813, member: 31715"] OK here is the scoop, our party was fighting this creature it was upped to gargantuan size. Our DM said it was 32 hit dice and was wondering if that was correct . The Main problem was trying to figure out the creatures death throes . Original stats for Frost Worm (MM p 111) Huge magical beast 14HD (BAB +14, Saves 9/9/6) Natural armor +10 STR 26, DEX 10, CON 20, INT 2, WIS 11, CHAR 11, breath weapon 15D6 COLD :eek: ( REFLEX for half DC22, CON-based ) death throes 12d6 cold/ 8d6 piercing :eek: ( REFLEX for half DC22, CON-based ) advancement: 15-21 (huge); 22-42 (gargantuan) DM figured formula for the saves is 10 + 1/2 HD + Stat MOD Modified stats 32HD (BAB +32, saves F18/R18/W10) Size increase (per MM p. 291) huge to gargantuan: STR+8,CON+4, NATURAL ARMOR +4, -2 AC/ATK new stats: Natural armor + 14 STR 34, CON 24 Breath weapon DC improves to 33 Death throes DC improves to 33 DM claims that he add hoc'd thee amount of damage Death Throes dealt based on creatures % of HD. 12d/14d=0.85 for cold... or 27d6 @32HD 8d/14d=0.57 for piercing... or 18d6 @32HD This mod went unchallenged, resulting in two character deaths (as orchestrated) but after the dice rolled he felt the result was wrong (too high an amount of damage put out) The question: What is the correct damage out put of a gargantuan Frost Worm. Side note does the piercing damage being dealt count as magical other side note being a silver dragon shaman and having immune to cold do i take 1.5 damage from fire based attacks I'm saying no but the DM is saying yes. Please respond as quick as you can to this post and thank you [/QUOTE]
