Yeah.
I think it would be better.It was a number I just kind of chose. I can have it based on size.
True.Mostly because like every other creature with the Earth subtype does have it, and it never made sense for me that the Gargoyle doesn't.
20 should work it's powerfull but it fine the theme really well.I can lower it. After applying the hardness. Anything negated by the hardness doesn't actually deal any damage, so it wouldn't matter. Basically, what I was saying is, if they die while this is in effect, it is pretty hard to bring them back.
Also if your intend is to make it hard for them to be ressurect if kill in this state you need to change the wording to make it clear, such as.
"If the Stoneskinned is killed while under the effect of this ability he can only be ressurect using ...."
Also I forget to ask but does the DR still apply ?
Okay, it's D&d after all so it's not too out there.Hum. The idea was that they simply harden their skin after years and years of practice. They noticed the Gargoyles, who have naturally harder skin, and try to emulate them. Their focus brought about their own transformation.
