[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8290073, member: 93670"] That's part of the problem with forcing gms to roll their own solutions. With monsters there should be an adjustment formula based on CR or something. The 3.5 MM had a pretty good section on it somewhere in the customizing monsters bit & I've seen another spin that did something like add 4-5ac & cut hp by 40-60%. I could dig through the 3.5monster manual trying to find the relevant section's page number & see if I can remember how I did that part but it's late & precovid was long ago so I guess good luck in rebuilding the vaguely described wheel from almost scratch if you were actually interested. Keep in mind that this is one of the easier low hanaging fruit the sysem isnt designed with multiple components that will combat your attempts.5 actually that bolded statement is wrong. It should read "They want you to buy MORE than [I][U][B]zero[/B][/U][/I] book[I]s[/I]". The empty lip service in PR material & lucy with a football mechanics actually making it into print is very strongly pushing me that way.
