[QUOTE="fuindordm, post: 6499963, member: 5435"] I think the key to understanding slaad is that they act 99% chaotic, but there is still a method to their madness. They were spawned from an artifact of order amidst limbo, and their biology and hierarchy are somewhat orderly; I think they embody chaos with purpose, whereas before the spawning stone limbo had no purpose--it was just chaos-as-raw potential. Now Limbo is chaos that wants something: maybe to expand its domain at the expense of neighboring outer planes, maybe to consume the prime material? Maybe it's smaller scale, and the slaad are just the archenemies of the modrons with no other purpose. But in course of play, I agree with jgsugden: the lower slaad should fight savagely, but with no tactice--constantly switching targets and disengaging one round only to charge in the next. I think it would be cool if when a lot of slaad get together, nature starts to ben and twist back into a limbo-like state, and when they leave it stabilizes in a slightly mutated form. Or when a weapon hits them, it twists and bends out of shape. [/QUOTE]
