I only used a translator on my really long binary post, and only because i was too lazy to translate that many letters myself.

Also, seriously? The 10 joke works way better with Binary than Ternary.

I am in need of some clarification on one of the rules. If a creature or group of creatures is identical in all respects to an official product but for one addition, can the group be cited and then the simple ammendment be added within the competition rules?

As an example. My zombie meets all of the information from the MM but its animation only comes about as a result of an effect and only at night.

My entry would include any of the undead in the MM and the alteration would be consistant for all of them.

Snorr sounds like "Snore" which is the sound that people make when they sleep.

That said, I like using foreign words for my monsters too. There's nothing silly about a dragon called Onslaught.

I'm no judge, so i can only answer with my opinion. I can be totaly wrong towards the rules of this contest.

As far as i understand it, if you make a change to a Monster in the MM, you should post the complete Stat Block in your entry.
If you want to make changes to several monsters, always the same change and "open-ended" towards the number of Monster your talking about a template. So I would make a template in this case.
If you don't want to make a template, because you don't want to advance the monsters to elite monsters, i would still make a template, but i would add drawbacks and add the statement that this template does in fact not advance the monster to an elite monster.

Snore ..ok. Could be worse. That's not even too bad.
Thank you for the clarification.
With silly i didn't refere to "onslaught" or the like, but to the case that i may have called the dragon something like "Sneeze" by accident.
I'll keep to root for Snorr. :rolleye2:

I read a poll a few years back, where they asked many people who didn't speak any English whatsoever which words sounded beautiful and which sounded ugly or tacky.

Diarrhea was chosen to be one of the more beautiful words in the language while daffodil was decidedly unwieldy and rough. It just goes to show that the important part of a word is its true meaning, not the collection of syllables associated with it.

Calling a dragon sneeze or similar might have indeed dampened his impact, but only until one read about it. Then the laughing would stop. That dragon is a serious threat.
