Why is the swarm hp and dmg so low? they had their CR raised to 1 but seem worse in almost everything. Also the Insect-nin path doesn't get companionship bond to buff them so idk how they can be any good?

Swarms were converted from traditional CR, to being equivalent to a level 1 player, since PECR is used in this setting.--Ref3rence (talk) 11:36, 21 November 2021 (MST)

Bikochu's true sight shouldn't have an upkeep as it already cost to summon these insects and they die on a time limit. If anything just do 1 chakra for a minute duration. Maybe clarify that rinkaichu die if they end their turn not in another creatures space.

You should probably specify what happens with the Rinkaichu when they bite an enemy without chakra. Does it do extra damage if it can't steal chakra or just do nothing special?


Previously a swarm had the condition immunity to Berserk. now it has been removed. was this intentional? - CleverNot 10:29, 6 October 2022

I can't find that in the edits history, but creatures immune to being charmed are automatically immune to being berserk.--Ref3rence (talk) 21:04, 6 October 2022 (MDT)


I am curious about the swarms interactions with the slowed condition, seeing as they are immune to paralyzed, petrified and stunned would a swarm not also be immune to slowed? or is there something else at work here? - 1kili2 02:10 (CEST), 1 May 2023

I've added built in immunity to the slowed condition that would include this creature.--Ref3rence (talk) 10:35, 1 May 2023 (MDT)
