[QUOTE="Zephyrus, post: 1838030, member: 8728"] So far, very very cool. Might I suggest a couple of things, in no particular order. Creating a PDF file of the rules you did and posting it on a website somewhere for ease and then putting a link it in the message. Their are many PDF distiller programs out their so dont have to get adobe just to do this. Bluebeam and Leadtools ePrint are just two that come to mind. I suggest this because after reading through the thread it started getting confusing of what was/wasent changing or had already changed based on the discussion. A seperated document would be easy to insure that it was the most up-to-date revision of the idea. Very cool by the way! I Think its a great idea. Fleshing it out and formating it as a completly detailed template including special options perhaps for handling Mob's of various types of creatures (such as undead) <suddenly shudders at the thought of a Mob of Small Wyrmling Dragons, then feels a little sorry for the momma>. Which brings up another point. How would special attacks like Breath Weapons, Gazes, etc... be handled. A Mob of Medusa or a Mob Half-Dragon's Warriors <shudders more at the idea of either of these>. Half-Dragon's can breath 1/day. Dragons Breath every few rounds, Medusa's petrifying Gaze is generally always active. How would you incorporate these abilities into a Mob and how they function. I'd be curious to see the Earth Elementals as Small Instead of Medium. That should bring the hit dice and over-all nasty-ness factor down some and maybe make it more CR-able. Maybe add a rule for mini-mob's (size huge) and mega-mobs (collosal). Also 'spaced' mobs consisting of fewer higher HD creatures. Perhaps making that the norm for creatures with more than 2 HD and an Option for 'Packed' mobs which have as many as 3 creatures per space but have 1 HD or less. a Ultimate Mob of Gibberlings would be a frightening mob as well. Gibberlings already can stack up to 3 to a space. Would their be a prohibition to creatures like this when using a Mob template (because they already can fit more than one creature to a square)? <shudders at the idea of a Mob of gibberlings brings to mind images from those 'Critters' movies <not to be confused 'gremlin' movies>. Anyways.. hope I dident overwealm you... great idea! looking forward to seeing more!! [/QUOTE]
