:Well, as written, the Hivemaster Wins D&D at 12th level. He might not get the ability score benefits, but his vermin do, and he has an arbitrary number of them in and on his body (as 1st level Swarm ability). Even with the somewhat non-arbitrary number given ("trillions"), which implies a lower bound of 2 trillion, that still means that his swarm will have an Intelligence and Charisma of ~40 billion, with a Sorcerer caster level of about the same. Which is... slightly broken. --[[User:Neofenrir|Neofenrir]] 18:54, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

::Yeah, it's definitely a work in progress. In D&D the idea of a swarm of Fine creatures is somthing in the thousands, whereas realistically it's probably somthing significantly higher. "Trillions" of insects was hyperbolizing for the most part, and the hive mind would obviously be limited so that it's not overpowered. Hiveminds are a somewhat tricky matter that I'm still working on. Thanks anyway for pointing it out. - [[User:ThunderGod Cid|TG Cid]] 19:49, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Hive Mind

Might wanna make it so that the intelligent vermin can't perform the aid another action for the Hivemaster, or else we've got nanobots all over again. --Ghostwheel 23:47, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

For clarification, where should that part be included? - TG Cid 19:49, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
