03-24-04, 10:48 PM I am trying to figure out what kind of CR I sould give me creature.
I will describe him and you guys can help me out.

Mudman

They form from a puddle of mud

They harden when they are out in the sun to long

They throw mud balls at you. when to mud makes contact it begins to harden.

If you punch him there is a chance you can get stuck and be slowly sucked in.

IF there is an other one they can meld into each other turning into a large creature and so on.

Weakness
Knock out his stones for eyes.

Please help me.

03-24-04, 11:14 PM You should post the complete stats for the monster and a description of each ability and how they work. A description of the monster doesn't really help that much. Does it have 25hp or 250hp? How much AC does it have? What special attacks/abilities? How much damage does it's attacks do? Without any of that info, making a CR judgement is impossible.

03-25-04, 12:11 AM Alright here
Mudman
50hp
AC:15 when hardened 19
Attach Bonus: 4
Ability: throw mud 1d6 (when it hits the mud begins to harden), form weapons (like hammers and Clubs). Can become harden its AC. Pound attach 1d6.
Special Ability: meld with other mudmen to make giant or large mudman. If punched there is a chance you can get stuck and slowly be sucked in.
How to Kill: hit his third eye( a black stone). When they spend to much time a way from water or mud they begin to turn to dust.

I hope this it good enough. Thanks for your help Teh.

03-25-04, 08:02 AM That's a better start. I would like to know the save DC's for the sucking in attack, and how many can combine together to make it how big. Also, what about ability scores, feats, skills? Just a couple of questions that would need answering, also hit dice.;)

03-26-04, 12:18 PM I think, from what you have posted as its stats that it should be about CR3, maybe 4. What is the limit on the melding together, is there a maximum # that can do this or is it unlimited? Also, what is its move speed, does it have a burrow speed?

03-26-04, 01:00 PM Nice idea !
Shouldn't that be some sort of construct ?
And therefore no Con score, d10 for HP, constructs traits, etc. (I'm thinking of the "remove the eyes" part : it make it sound like some animated mud)

I agree with Lothlorien on the possible CR.
Just my $2...
