Ed's Notes: I love these guys. My absolute favs. 👿 Lol. PC's are SO screwed coming up against these guys. 💀 Fortunately (or UN) they like to bargain. 😈 One House Rule of sorts to apply here... Under the damage, they book mentions that they have 18/00 Strength, and so a +6 Bonus applies to all Damage Rolls. First off... I assume this apples to ALL physical attacks? That how I read it anyway. And if that's the case, then they shouldn't they also get a +3 bonus to hit, 7 just being the standard THAC0 for a 13 HD Creature? Book doen't say. Just a question.
