03-28-07, 07:37 PM Without fail, every single newbie to the game I've seen has gotten confused over the monstrous humanoid type, and whether spells that target humanoids can affect them or not (they can't).

Are there any suggestions for a better name for this type? I can't really think of any suitable ones.

(Note: In my games, I have already made the vermin type into a subtype of animal and the giant type into a subtype of monstrous humanoid).

03-28-07, 11:31 PM I would think something like terratomorph or monstrosity would work fine.
