[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 2832788, member: 1264"] Ftr is the common abbreviation for Fighter. Yes, I understand that it can take a while to get used to the jargon being thrown around, but taking your frustration out on those who are trying to help is rarely conducive to further assistance. ;) Regarding 1/2 damage versus no damage from weapons... the typical way to attack a swarm is through magic or via fire-based attacks. A flask of oil or Alchemist's Fire could very well take out your entire swarm with some lucky damage rolls. This tactic is well known to experienced players, and should likely be expected to be known to 3rd level adventurers. If your players aren't aware of this, you can give them a Knowledge (Nature) skill check to let them figure it out. So it's a fairly standard encounter, even with the immunity against weapon damage, hardly an "invincible bug swarm". [/QUOTE]
