Isn’t that basically a cone? At least in 2DI don't think the tail sweep should be a cone. It should just be an arc behind him that's about 20 feet or so high due to the thickness of the tail.
A cone with a tail as long as his would go up hundreds of feet. Godzilla's tail doesn't do that.Isn’t that basically a cone? At least in 2D
Uni has the correct idea. A cone shape in plan is an arc. Now I get that a cone is literally 3-dimensional, so perhaps that is not the best way to explain it. I guess I could say: Godzilla sweeps its tail in a 400-foot arc.A cone with a tail as long as his would go up hundreds of feet. Godzilla's tail doesn't do that.![]()
I'm not sure what your getting at really. This isn't really a monster to be fought by PCs. And the # of times it fights has no relation to its HP. It should be at full HP at everyone fight. What is relevant is the damage other monsters are doing. Which would make a one on one battle 13-20 rounds or 1-2 minutes.x10 is a slog. Even in the Godzilla movies, he usually only fights 3 times - "defeated" twice to come back at the last second to turn the fight into a draw (i.e, the mythic recharge kicking in), and then a win on the 3rd (or in the '54, he gets Oxygen destroyed, and in Destroyah, he melts down). In essence, it makes the 3rd fight the nail-biter. Of course, you could also have it that if he's defeated the 3rd time, he goes nuclear, which alludes to Destroyah & King of Monsters!
They were trying to crush its "2nd brain" if I remember correctly. Which isn't really psychic damageAs for psychic, in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (2002), the main plot deals with them attempting to fry his brain (as best I remember). I think in other instances, I may have been thinking of Gamera's enemies.
I would like to do Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, and King Ghidorah, I just don't have the time right now.And you need to make Mothra! (And King Kong)
Not for very long though, in Godzilla vs. Biollante, the strongest psychic in the series (barring Mothra herself), Miki Saegusa, was psychically ejected from the monster's mind, causing her to collapse. In Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, a technological device was required to bypass his incredible resistance to psychic domination.The main thing I disagree with is immunity to psychic damage. He's been psychically dominated in the past, and he's faced enemies who have had psychic attacks and have harmed him. His DR 15 and Psychic Resistance should prevent most low-level psychic attacks from most humanoids harm him.
It should only take 1 round to charge his breath, it's not that long of a charge-up, just noticeable. Just enough to seek cover or know you're F'ed.
Also, I think the Kiaju mythic trait should be more than plenty at 3 uses.

Yes but don't forget that time Kong randomly got electrical powers!I'm not sure what your getting at really. This isn't really a monster to be fought by PCs.

There is already a Giant Ape stat block isn't there?
Sure, and as @dave2008 said, you have the right of it. In D&D mechanics, though, a cone isn't 2D and someone who doesn't know much about Godzilla or who assumes that for D&D it's different, because it's written as cone, it will be a full cone. I think describing it as an a sweep in an arc, even without any height description, is a better way to write it.I said 2D![]()
