Does this effect have any benifits? Its seems to have more draw back than anything or was that the intention?
I read the description but cant use counterattack or dodge, only basic defense... seems punitive. Not loosing action due to falls seem minimal compensation.

Well DR creatures have a lot of life points. But the DR rule itself is pretty much a disadvantage (where in the RPG it was more of a mixed blessing).

ah ok thx

DR creatures usually have a ton of armor and LP.  Plus they get to use their armor to reduce the distance they can be Pushed or Slammed.  One last thing is they can't be Stunned due to falling or crashes.

Also some effects like Arhimans claws of darkness have no effect on them.

alright I've a question on the Damage Resistance creatures.

I've been trying to find a way to make something that has small form but big effect. More or less a little monster with large wonder.

So to create such a creature I need to give it enough stats to make it very large (Enormous size 25-28)  according to table 82 on page 286 of the core book. making it have approximately 12 strength and 13 constitution, in order to have 25 size.

To get this creature extra health I'll pull the (From Those who walk among us; pg178 ; divine power) Compact existence for a cost of 40 dp to give the creature life multiple of x15. Equivalent to a giant creature.

Now I want to make it's physical size smaller than it normally would be, so from the chart on page 284 Core book I would need to spend 40 dp in Unnatural size to decrease it to the size of an average person.

          Here is my questions about the structure of this creature.
  Normally a creature of size 25 would have 6 natural armor, with a life multiple of x10 when calculating total life points. When changing the life point multiple to 15 with Compact Existence ability does that affect the normal armor it should have? And would that (Compact Existence) effect anything else about the creature?
   Secondly would decreaseing it's physical size effect the usual characteristics the Enormous creature would normally have? For example the armor, movement value, Base initiative, natural weapon damage, ect.?  Would shrinking it like that completely defeat the entire reason for making a big creature? 
   Lastly if making a creature like this can not be done in this manor could someone give me advise for creating a deceptively ordinary creature.  Assume the goal on this guy is to make it a "guardian" over a very important place. As if defeating it would further the story and acquire something special. Similar to final fantasy (ruby, gold, omega) weapons.

Sounds like this belongs in the RPG forum a few links down on the main page.  This sub-forum is for the miniatures game Anima: Tactics.
