I'm rolling up 2 NPC's tonight. One is a saint and one is a Swarm Lord. Once they're done, I'll post them here, but I wanted to let you all know what I'm thinking. The Swarm Lord is going to be level 8 or 9 and is going to have 8 insect/spider legs, Spinnarettes, and maybe one other enhancement. The hive is going to be the abdomen of the armor and will be quite substantial.
Do you think the additional legs prevent the hive armor from having to crouch awkwardly, like in Slappys description? (I'm going to have them negate it in my game, but not the lack of speed. It is such a P.P.E. investment for what is effectively a cosmetic descision for me...and its an NPC, so I'll let it slide.)

I'm all for using enhancements to negate the weight penalties. Sounds good to me.

I am prone to agree.

I was hoping someone would go for the disease route, i had this whole shtick worked out and everything. I do appreciate the hit on it though, you punned me in a way i had not expected.
Also, it would be cool if you posted stats on those npc's. I think swarmlords are one of the best occ's, and they are one of my favorites.

Re: Swarm Lord NPC
Ok, I have been working on another Splicers project, but I did finish this NPC and he made an appearance in my game last week. I'll try to post him up between watching basketball tonight and working on my Splicers article for the rifter (which is going to be effing rad)

Looking forward to the rifter article, and the npc. Also, i was at the orlando magic game, it was pretty good.
