I gave each of the heads 12 hp! not that it mattered. is the attack while flatfooted thing new? the party was scared to fight the brute but the priest wouldnt allow it to be left behind to attack anymore helpless travelers [it was eating one when the party encountered it] granted they got the good jump on it and they all beat its init roll for the 1st round but I remember Hydras being much harder to take out then that . . .</p></blockquote><p></p>
