Does Inhuman Strength bypass the Diminutive size 1 stress damage.
Sanctaphrax:
Yeah. Feegles can inflict a mighty 3 stress with their punches.

Did you know that the human Major Histocompatability Complex is responsible for many divorces in marriage in modern western society? That and the contraceptive pill? Snakes taste like a cross between chicken and crocodile...
Try find that on wikipedia!

--- Quote from: vultur on May 20, 2012, 03:14:07 AM ---It only has 2 points of toughness powers, though, so it's capped at +1 regardless of its real value.
(Also, this is a classical-and-medieval-bestiary-style serpentine dragon, which is basically an exaggerated big snake, not a Lung / Chinese dragon. Those would be quite a bit more magical and powerful; that's basically what Ferrovax is.)
I know, but this is a Serpentine Dragon, not a real-world constrictor snake - even a really big one. It's somewhat 'exaggerated'.
Actually, the Jacobson's (vomeronasal) organ is used for 'tasting' the air (another form of smell), not heat sensing. It's found in a lot of things, not just snakes, and is entirely distinct from the heat-sensing pits of pit vipers.

Schooled by Vultur. Been 8 years since college I got organ names mixed up. Some zoologist I'd have been. :-[\
Regardless i still disagree with heat sensing.
Jimmy: you're too kind. Really. You give me enough credit to be computer literate enough to always think of wikipedia. Which last I checked is vastly inaccurate....
Never had crocodile, but have had snake (not sure which kind, was shipped up from my friend in texas), and alligator. Neither taste much like chicken to me.
--- Quote from: vultur on May 26, 2012, 03:29:51 AM ---I'm not sure if you're addressing me or Silverblaze, but I don't think it's fair in either case. While I admit I double-checked on wikipedia before posting (as I often do with fact-based stuff), that's not my main source for the info. This is not just random 'internet knowledge' - it's real.
And I'm not sure if you're saying the major histocompatibility complex/contraceptives stuff is true (despite not being found on wikipedia) or is false (despite being found on wikipedia)...
In any case, not the point.

I wouldn't think so, the way it is written, but it would in some sense be thematically appropriate.

--- End quote ---
Are you sure it bypasses diminuitive size?

That is awesome and I might have to steal that for my campaign. I'd love to see the look on my players faces when they're waylaid by a swarm of drunken Scottish smurfs.
