I wonder then if all the attacks the cloud makes are thereby basic attacks (similar to a swarm; anyone adjacent/inside get attacked), and maybe a 'minor attack: foe inside me'.But I was trying to get at 'should it have attacks when in hazard form' in the sense that swarms have more powers than just their aura attack + their resistances. I do like the idea of making it behave like a swarm (right down to the vulnerability to area attacks). However, if the monster is going to have attacks outside of its hazard power, then the statblock might get too fat if it has powers outside of and inside of its hazardform.I could see the potential that the aura attacks could grant status effects, depending on the thematic link. Grab (Mass of tentacles), Immobilize or Slow (hands sticking out of the ground) knock prone (earthquake), ongoing damage (whirlwind of razorblades), etc.</blockquote>
