I'm almost at the point where I'm going to give a playtest document to a couple of dms in the hopes of having them do a little playtesting for me, but I have a couple things still to do. First up: If you were running a playtest game, what monsters would you want to use? In other words, what monsters do I need to stat to have an adequate palette for a dm to draw on?So far I've statted out:Ant- giant workerAnt- giant soldierAnt- swarmCarrion crawlerDragon- white hatchling*Ghoul- ghoulGhoul- ghastGoblin- goblinGoblin- goblin archerGoblin- goblin warriorGoblin- goblin chieftainKobold- koboldKobold- kobold scoundrelKobold- kobold assassinKobold- kobold wyrmpriestKobold- kobold chieftainOgre- ogreOgre- ogre berserkerOoze- gray oozeOoze- gelatinous cubeOrc- orcOrc- ogrillion (half-ogre, half-orc)Orc ChampionOwlbearRat- giant ratRat- dire ratRat- rat swarmSkeleton- decrepit skeletonSkeleton- skeleton guardSpider- spider swarmSpider- giant gray spiderSpider- giant jumping spiderSpider- giant tarantella spiderSpider- giant black widow spiderZombie- zombieZombie- zombie ogre*This is to provide an absolute minimum toughness for dragons in the system.If you were a prospective playtest dm, what would you say, "Oh, he left out that" about?</blockquote>
