[QUOTE="Sixten, post: 245432, member: 5641"] As I mentioned yesterday, while I would certainly welcome any feedback you all might have about the creatures I've posted in the last couple of days, these next two are probably where I need the most help. First up is the swamp termite. I'm actually worried that this might be a little too puny, even compared to the OD&D creature I'm converting. Specifically, with such a low strength, its bite can't actually do any damage (but I'm not sure that a bigger Str is appropriate for a 1' termite). And the DC for the ink spray (by the book) means that few, if any, characters will ever be affected by it. [B]Termite, Swamp[/B] Tiny Vermin HD: 1d8 (4 hp) Initiative: +1 (Dex) Speed: Swim 30 ft.
