yea that size increase chart is confusing me

my monster is going from med. to gargantuan which means:

+24 str, +9 nat armor, -4 Dex/AC/attack, + 12 con. correct?

You are correct, sir (or ma'am, as the case may be).

Nevermind, read the thing wrong myself :smalltongue: The numbers are right.

Don't forget to increase weapon damage dice, too.

LOL, and this post is now irrelevant. Please ignore and carry on with your usual business.

I would really like to know what it is you are increasing that much.

dont worry about it i changed my mind. i was originaly going to increase a humanoid skeleton from med to gargatuan, give it a tail and an extra pair of arms ( just cause i think its cool)

but i've decided to go with gargantuan snake skeleton instead ( cause i think its cooler..... though as i type this i may switch back to the skeleton with 4 arms....)

why not a gargantuan snake-like skeleton that has 4 arms then?

Then it's not snake-like. Snake's don't have arms, remember?

If I recall, the skeleton is a template, so it shouldn't be improved by increasing size and adding hit dice but rather by adding the template to a larger creature. Start with a hill giant if you want a giant-sized skeleton, start with a Girallon if you want an extra pair of arms, etc.
