[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9565817, member: 467"] Post #12 is my second attempt at bringing the Dragonbane monster system into 5E. I used the stats previewed for the Haunted Revenant house as a foundation. "Dragonbane system" means a couple things in particular: the monster has multiple actions at different initiative counts (Ferocity), and what actions it does take are based on a random chart. In DB, monsters hit automatically unless the PC dodges or (more rarely) parries, which robs them of their next action. in my first iteration of the system, I did something like that, but did not like the way it interacted with AC, as pointed out by another poster. In this iteration, I went with "half damage on a miss or save" instead, to keep the feel but make it work a little better with how D&D does things. What I am asking you, based on some discussions we have had in the past, is what impact do you think that -- "that" being damage on a miss/save -- has on the CR of the Haunted Revenant. How much higher is the CR because it effectively does damage every round? [/QUOTE]
