Special Conversion Thread: Moldvay's Undead

Ok, then let's take Cleon's suggestion for the DC. But, really, if there are really large groups of silkies, why couldn't they flip something larger? Still, we could just say "Silkies in seal form can capsize boats up to X ft in length."

It just seems unlikely that a bunch of humans treading water could flip a big ship. It's a bit different when a single ginormous creature surfaces beneath one.

That's fine. Want to just add a length restriction like I suggested?

Yep!

 

[freyar]

Go ahead, then, pick a length. 15 ft?

That's only rowing boat size, I'd make it bigger than that, at least keelboat size (30 to 50 feet?).

A crew of humans can drag a keelboat or longship over land, so I'd think a team of silkies should be able to tip one over.

 

[freyar]

I think you're going to have a hard time getting Shade past 30 ft.

 

[Shade]

I'll accept 30 feet comfortably, 50 feet uncomfortably.

 

[freyar]

How about a 50 ft limit, and some variation of Cleon's proposed DC = 10+1/2 boat length in ft? If you want to make it more difficult, we could go with 2/3 or something.

 

[Shade]

Cleon's proposed DC formula is probably adequate.
