Re: Bigger torque ... ep generator MK 2

[Greg Mowczko <mooch@cioe.com>]

I've never understood though why gargoyles have that toxic attack at such
a high level. Its bad enough trying to hit them with weapons but if they
hit you it hurts plus the paralysis. Who the hell made these? I can see
a mage just standing around making the thing and goind " I am so screwed
if I lose control of this and it tries to take me out".

Actually what I don't understand is why it even has a toxic attack. How
do you get poison to seep out of rock.
