What, you afraid you'd bust a hip grandpa?Scrooge: Its called Delegatin ya great lush. Pokes Tony in the chest with his Arc reactor. Besides, unlike you, I don't need a fancy suit to be a threat.Tony: Gotta tell you moneybags, you're beak is writing some checks your tail can't cash.Scrooge: Oh is that a challenge? Cause we can throw down right here.Xanatos: Um, Tony, I really wouldn't. You don't want any of that.Tony: No no, I think I do want some of this. Come on Grandpa, show me what you got.Scrooge: Alright Stark, cricks neck Let me show ya how we did it in the old days.Five minutes later, Tony is laying at the bottom of a crater with his armor busted.Tony: What... What just happened?Scrooge: Adjusts hat Gotta admit Stark, that is an impressive suit you got there, almost made me break a sweat.Xanatos: I warned you Stark. You okay?Tony: Nothing hurt but my pride. And my spine. And my ribs. Seriously what just happened?Scrooge: Seriously what part of "Tougher than the toughies" eludes people?I'll dm you the thread if you want it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />2. I can add more specific info for the forgotten realms if you want (I did a paragraph on them, but would love feedback).[USER=7029930]@AnotherGuy[/USER][USER=10869]@Shades of Eternity[/USER] link to your Monster Manual - Redone kickstarter pleasethis one requires a special explanation.I have been tittering on the edge of doing a Kickstarter for years now for a great many projects <looks at my link tree account>, but I always get cold feet.  I tried to run a company a long time ago, and it didn't go well.I kinda stink at numbers, which are a necessity (I always go bug-eyed when looking at number crunching), and know I need to overhaul the pictures (AI art doesn't cut it, but I can't draw, nor do I want to screw with any future artists or end up taking a serious financial hit).  I'm open to any coaching on this one, as I've built a considerable portfolio and am ready to move on to the next stage.I think I would absolutely love to follow the pointy hat/Ginny d/pancreas no worky route and start a YouTube channel showing off my crazy ideas, but I'm unsure of the details.[USER=7052492]@Brendan Byrd[/USER]  & [USER=7033886]@Corinnguard[/USER]1. Man, you are right, it should make them susceptible with echolocation and tremorsense.also serious lol for your ankhegs Brendan Byrd.  I love stuff like this.2. Treasure as food is absolutely brilliant.  Do you guys mind if I add it to the blog?[USER=52734]@Stormonu[/USER]  and [USER=1125]@Tonguez[/USER] .  Keep being awesome. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="8-)" title="Cool    8-)"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname="8-)" /></blockquote>
