[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8561770, member: 57383"] Updated the [B][URL='https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8557938']Giant Brittle Star (Ophiuroid)[/URL][/B]. Added notes for a Shed Arms Reaction as well as the points posted above. Okay, we've got Special Traits to finish next. I propose: [INDENT] [B][I]Rudimentary Vision.[/I][/B] The giant brittle stat has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. It perceives patterns of light and darkness and can only see the silhouette or shadow of a creature or object; it can not see colors or fine details. [B][I]Regrowth.[/I][/B] If a giant brittle star loses an arm, organ or other body part and survives, it regrows the lost body parts as it heals. It takes # (#d# + #) days for a giant brittle star to replace a missing arm. Oh, and we've also got [B][I]Capable Clambering[/I][/B] in the Rough Draft. [INDENT][B][I]Capable Clambering.[/I][/B] A giant brittle star ignores difficult terrain penalties due to its adept movement with its arms.[/INDENT] Hmm, I don't care for the wording. That means it could easily pass through difficult terrain caused by thickets and thorns that would surely tangle up its arms. How about: [INDENT][B][I]Crawling & Clambering #1.[/I][/B] A giant brittle star ignores difficult terrain penalties caused by slippery, smooth or sheer surfaces because of the agility and sticky grip of its arms.[/INDENT] It doesn't really need the explanation - that could be mentioned in the [B]Description[/B]. [INDENT][B][I]Crawling & Clambering #2.[/I][/B] A giant brittle star ignores difficult terrain penalties caused by slippery, smooth or sheer surfaces. [B]Description[/B] Tube feet are sticky and used to hold and manipulate prey as well as cling to surfaces, even vertical cliffs or cave ceilings.[/INDENT] Hell, why don't we give it a modified version of the Spider Climb trait of a [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/animal-spider-giant/']Giant Spider[/URL][/B]? [INDENT][B][I]Crawling & Clambering #3.[/I][/B] A giant brittle star ignores difficult terrain penalties caused by slippery or smooth surfaces and can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. [B]Description[/B] The tube feet are sticky and used to hold and manipulate prey or cling to wet and slippery surfaces, such as cliff faces and cave roofs.[/INDENT] Do you like any of those? [B]#3[/B] is my favourite.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
