Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herremann the Wise" data-source="post: 3013829" data-attributes="member: 11300">A black pudding has an intelligence of - and a wisdom of 1. To my way of thinking, this is the absolute bottom of the tree. This is more mindless than just being mindless. Even vermin have a half decent wisdom (somewhere around 10) thus perceiving an obstacle to get around. A Black Pudding to my way of thinking is the epitomy of being truly mindless and would not even realise that there was an obstacle, only food. Having it repeatedly trying to reach its target in exactly the same way seems a reasonable way of "role-playing" this facet of the creature. YMMV.As frankthedm points out, his character would not know how nasty these creatures are on gear (even though he as a player and DM certainly does). I suppose that's what I meant by being a good roleplayer. He does not metagame and plays his character to the hilt. I can just imagine Brother Arnanbadullus Skite getting sick of the others dithering and thus launching an heroic assault against the creature in the name of some new deity he has discovered who he believes the creature transgresses the existence of. With luck, someone will hold him back.   <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" /> frankthedm,I saw your gargantuan black ooze on coolminiornot and thought "cool". Whoever handed you the 1 had absolutely no class whatsoever nor understanding of a Black Pudding. Pimp away as you feel the need. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I just wish I had one of them for this encounter.  <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" /> Best RegardsHerremann the WisePS: Just to get this right, if this creature actually hits one of my PCs, they take 2d6+4 slam damage plus 2d6 acid damage. The creature then uses its improved grab ability to grapple them (+18 grapple), where if it succeeds, it does a further 2d6+4 +2d6 acid damage.Is this how constrict works?</blockquote>
