'tis the range, indeed... you see, it ain't easy to launch needles, and trees in the forest don't give much of a line of sight

Hum... plant traits... hum...

the grapple thing... I'd prefer him to remain large, what do you think? a -4 or a -8 on grapple checks?

If 100' ft is the range, then the listing should probably state 10' range increment...

As you want to mirror the brittleness of the critters composition, instead of a penalty to grapple perhaps a Special Quality: Brittle, Takes 1D6 crushing damage at the end of any round that it is involved in a Grapple.

This way it still is an awesome Grapplist.. but really doesn't want to grapple...

I agree with the brittleness thing Primitive Screwhead mentioned, but I disagree about needing a range increment. Not all ranged attacks use a range increment, some just have a fixed maximum range. A range increment may or may not be appropriate, but it is not inherantly necessary.

Brittle it is!

People don't wanna grapple it, it don't wanna grapple people... good to me

EDIT: I'm starting to feel he's got too many SQs and SAs... anyone else?
