08-07-04, 09:40 PM I'm running a module that calls for blood bloaters to appear. Reading the monster description, it says characters can spend a full-round action to defend themselves from the little oozes, but I don't expect my players to know that.

Any suggestions on how you'd drop hints (or should I just outright tell them) to let them know? Thanks.

PC: "Okay, I do that."

DM: "Keeping them at bay will be a full round action, any break in the waves pushing them back and they will be on you."

PC: "Uh, guys. A little help please?"

08-07-04, 10:08 PM A knowledge skill check of the appropriate type DC 10 + creature's HD will reveal a piece of useful information about them.

For every 5 points you beat the DC by, an additional useful piece of info is gained.

Well, the DC might be 15+, I'm not sure. It's in the knowledge skill description in the PHB.
