The Air Elemental that inspired the article mainly attacks by slamming since he has no arms, and I think I got fixated on that. I noticed the problem about two seconds after I submitted it, but by then it was too late to change the title.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-78922897754189446042015-08-31T12:13:51.240-07:002015-08-31T12:13:51.240-07:00It could be that I'm oblivious or that I just ...It could be that I'm oblivious or that I just haven't looked at slammage / knockback in a while, but there appears to be nothing about actual slammage in the article; it's all knock back. Or am I (in my flu addled state) not seeing the forest for the trees? (i.e. slammage stays the same, just knockback changes)<br /><br />In any event, these could be pretty solid. I have never dealt with scales (and slams) enough that RAW's fallen apart, but I can see (or think I see) how this can be an improvement.

Definitely going to give these a try!<br /><br />Now if only someone would come up with rules for Underwater, my life as a GM would be much simplified. :)Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276504032105555640noreply@blogger.com
