04-29-07, 05:04 PM So heres the problem... I am trying to DM a campaign with REALLY BIG monsters. Its basicly a adaptation to shadow of the colossus game. I am not really sure on how to go about doing this. If you have ever played the game, you will know that the colossi (i think thats how you say it) have many weak points that have individual health, that contribute to its over all hp..Also, after speaking with my PCs it seems like doing continual grapple and climb checks would slow down the fast paced action that is to be expected. I need a way to go about doing there climb checks, without changing all DnD rules. Finally, i need a way to program there movements (wild swinging arms, head shaking ect.) so that the PCs can study its movements, with out making them seem robotic Can anyone help? id appreciate help from anyone but SOTC fans are needed desperetly! thanks :)
