So a 100 clotting slivers and 100 plated slivers in a 60 foot sphere would mean 200 slivers with +300 hp and fast healing 300?
Yikes.
Yikes.

no random tables? okay.
what a typical type of hive might contain ... that works, as long as you start with smaller hives (lower CR, maybe no queen but a scouting party seeking to expand territory)
and some summoning spells!!!! ... this is why you need random tables! say I cast a spell that summons 3 slivers, I'd roll on the random table to see which ones I get.
how about a lower hd queen variant that leaves the original hive in order to start a new colony (not up on my sliver lore)?

I'm kinda confused krish, Fast Healing wouldn't stack would it? ... I'd assume it'd be like DR, it overlaps ... so the best version is what works (also like two rings of protection, +2 and +3 ... the +3 overrides the +2).
a hundred plated slivers... that'd be awesome ... really really awesome!!! and just slightly epic. ... [edit] ... at 319 hit points (avg that is) each!!
[edit 2] ... BUT low hd (3), low fort, low will, and low refl saves. some sort of mass envervation spell could significantly wipe out a whole bunch (a maximized mass enervation would take out a whole bunch at once ... so maybe not so epic (for just plated slivers)

One proto-sliver is usually enough to rebuild a hive should it be exterminated.
As for a smaller hive (queen + scouting party), even that would be an epic challenge as the sliver queen is an epic monster in itself (DR that can only be overcome by epic weapons, high AC, high SR, and a lot of attacks, combined with the ability to birth a protosliver each round as a free action...). I will not make summoning spells that can summon slivers, you have no idea how much damage some of the bigger ones can do to a game world, for instance if you summon a brood sliver, you *will* start a sliver infestation (the brood sliver being the one sliver besides the queen that can produce protoslivers, by injecting their opponents with the fetal sliver...Nasty stuff, trust me).

It stacks, as the introduction says, the ability stacks unless noted otherwise.Wolf72 said:

Thank heavens for Cloudkill though. Off course, most players never have their wizard memorize it, but that ain't my problem, is it?
Anyway, the Armor sliver is coming up.
