Re: [Slope: Ch 12] New Monster - Flame Fiends. Comments are welcome.



Maybe represent improvised attacks  with clothing, dirt, shields &c with unarmed damage?

It depends how you envisage the creature using its insubstantial mode. Is it a method of escape, of evading pursuit, of penetrating an obstacle, of regenerating damage, what?

If it goes insubstantial, and I don't have an approved extinguishing weapon, is there anything I can do?

I generally dislike monsters that can make themselves completely invulnerable unless you have some specific gadget. (Slimes are a problem in this respect, if you don't have fire.) A PC standing around doing nothing is a bored player. Let them do something, make some contribution, even if it's not very effective.

If the flame fiend is insubstantial and I use a fire extinguishing method like beating it with my jacket, or smothering it with a cloak, or pissing on it, what is the effect?

Good question. It would be unaffected, but if the fire goes 
out, it would stop regenerating.  I’ll revise my version to 
answer this.
