[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7897947, member: 6857506"] I think others have covered your original questions. I'll just add that I think the condition immunities for swarms are overly broad. For instance, if the swarm comprises creatures that could be frightened individually, I'm inclined to allow a portion of a swarm to be frightened if subject to an AoE such as the [I]Fear [/I]spell. (Of course, a single target effect would not do anything noticeable.) So I'd allow a portion of the swarm to be Charmed, Frightened, Paralyzed, Petrified, or Stunned if appropriate. Grappled, Prone, and Restrained seem less likely since there aren't, AFAIK, AoEs that impose those conditions. It's probably also worth thinking about what [I]Sleep [/I]does to a swarm. I think I'd let it take out a portion of the swarm according to the rolled HP for one round, but then have half the sleepers wake up each succeeding round as they inevitably get jostled by the rest of the swarm (unless [I]Sleep [/I]puts the whole swarm down).
