OoC:
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I forgot to subscribe to this thread the other day, so when I switched computers I lost it. Not to make excuses but the past two days have been kind of wiggy for me, too. In any case, I'm here now.

Lets hope that this map is big enough for ten Huge creatures on top of your Animals, yeah?

[Volthawk]

Question: What are your zombies?

I'm doing my animals as 4 to a square (they're all tiny, anyway)

[Lyndworm]

I'm entering ten Half-Dragon x5 (Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White) Five-Headed Hydra Zombies into the Swarm category. I considered throwing on the Half-Fiend template for flavor, but decided that that would probably be overkill.

What are they, you ask? They are awesome.

Sorry it took so long to reply; I was doing Initiative order and didn't notice your reply.

............

This is gonna be hard, as my critters will all only hit on a nat 20.

[Lyndworm]

I'm sure it doesn't help that all of the Zombies' 50 attacks per round are pretty much automatically successful (+26 to hit) and automatically lethal (2d6+24).

If you want to back out of this, I understand. I didn't break any CR rules here, but I intentionally ruined them.

Yeah, since my critters have to move into it's space to attack ,and that's pretty much a bust.

Wait, and I'll bring something else out.

Probably in oh... about 10 mins.

And I still don't get the 38 AC

15 base+4 half dragon+4 zombie= 23, not 38

[Lyndworm]

The AC is actually base 10, -2 for size, +6 for Hydra, +4 for Zombie, +4 for each Half-Dragon Template (+20), totaling 38 AC.

Oh, you added multiple half-dragon templates...

[Lyndworm]

Nothing says I can't, you know. Some places even say I can. I had a PC with five Half-Dragon templates and the Multi-Headed template, once (see Sig). Also, this (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eo/20070608a).

You can add a template more than once to the same creature as long as it continues to qualify.
The quote is the second sentence of the Chimeric Chimera entry.

Don't hate me for being awesome; hate me for being unfair. :smallwink:

I knew it was legal already.

[Lyndworm]

I didn't mean to imply that I thought that you implied that it was illegal. I was simply citing precedence due to boredom. :smalltongue:
