Yes to blindsight, but I'm not particularly opposed to dropping it either.

I'd rather keep the Blindsight.

Cr 2?

Challenge Rating 2 is OK, although I think it's at the low power end.

How much damage does it do with its tentacle and swallow whole? The original's tentacle did no damage or 2-7 if it wrapped round the neck, while swallowed victims took 1-3 per round.

So, 1d6+4 for the tentacle and 1d3+3 plus 1d3 acid for the swallow whole?

Good point, we forgot all those damage values! I'll agree to those numbers. How are 1d6+4 for constrict also and 5 hp damage to escape the swallow whole?

 

[Shade]

Those values all seem appropriate.

Updated.

Organization: Solitary or x (2-10)

Advancement: 3-5 HD (Medium)?

A giant noctiluca is x feet in diameter and weighs x pounds.

Cluster?

Advancement looks good.

Not much opinion on the size. 3 to 4 ft maybe?

 

[Shade]

That works for me, but I'll await Cleon's opinion.

That works for me, but I'll await Cleon's opinion.

Cluster (2-10) is good and I thought I'd already backed 1d6+4 for the Constrict.

I'd make it 10 hit points (or maybe even 15) to cut free off Swallow Whole.

Scaling up the Ceratium would give vital statistics of 4 foot diameter and 800 pounds, but I'm thinking 3 foot diameter and 400 pounds would suit me better.

Let's go with 10 hp to get out of Swallow Whole. 3ft, 400 lb works for me.

Fine by me.
