3.5 Monster Advancement
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:17 pm
While looking at the information on monster enhancement in the 3.5 Monster Manual, it is no surprise that I ran across a few questions...They are as follows:
1) Would the save DC for a 24 HD gargantuan aboleth's slime & mucus cloud abilities be 29 (base 10+half of HD 12+constitution modifier 7 for a score of 24 in constitution)?
2) Would the following damages be correct for an aboleth's size based on table 4-3 on page 291: gargantuan=1d8 huge=1d6 large=1d4 medium=1d3 small=1d2? (& yes I am aware that the manual says that aboleth's don't hatch from their eggs until they are full grown adults, but just humor me.
)
3) Would the following ability scores for strength, dexterity, and constitution be correct based on table 4-2 on page 291: gargantuan=str 34 dex 12 con 24 huge=str 26 dex 12 con 20 large=str 18 dex 14 con 16 medium=str 14 dex 16 con 14 small=str 10 dex 18 con 14? What about fluctuations in the abilities: intelligence, wisdom, and charisma?
4) How would one go about determining the HD of a creature smaller than described in the monster manual? An example being a medium-sized aboleth or a baby-youth of a certain creature?
