[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9581149, member: 7030563"] I think that is the way to run it RAW and I don't really see a mechanical problem running it that way (although I still think the wording is foolish, unintended and speaks to sloppy editing and game design). To answer your question, I am in 5 different weekly games right now: One of them I am a player in the DM already homebrewed to make the successive saves Constitution saves (keeping the first a Dex save). I think on the table I am DM on I am going to go RAW (until/unless it get changed in errata). I personally don't like to deviate from RAW unless it really causes mechanical problems (like vicious weapons and the new invisible condition). So in the game I am DMing this means you are poisoned and paralyzed for a minute unless you have something that makes you immune to being Paralyzed or Poisoned or something that takes away one of those conditions (like an ally casting Lessor Restoration or Lay on Hands). Like I noted earlier, that is effectively what the 1E Crawler did. The other three games I guess we will wait and see. There is another weird effect here where Dwarves would get advantage on the first Dex save, as it causes the poisoned condition (and on successive dex saves if they were immune to paralyzed) [/QUOTE]
