Even the CR 4 Carrion Golem is nearly 600 words.K Vidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547859700328698093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699951736004887261.post-69373565906214197922014-09-02T09:22:37.576+01:002014-09-02T09:22:37.576+01:00Hello K Vid, constructs are admittedly more challe...Hello K Vid, constructs are admittedly more challenging to design with only 700 words because they have the Construction section. Seeing that practically all constructs in the PRD have that section, it's advisable to include it in your entry, too. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions about the word count limit; if an entry includes a Construction section, animal companion stat block, traps (e.g. ettercap), or any other "extra" section, the entry still may not exceed 700 words. The only advice I can think of is trimming down the flavor text, maybe removing an ability, or simplifying the mechanics so as to reduce word count. I hope that helps!Mikko Kalliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993661189723068135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699951736004887261.post-30463837204091675232014-09-02T06:07:26.038+01:002014-09-02T06:07:26.038+01:00I'm having troubles keeping a possible entry a...I'm having troubles keeping a possible entry at only 700 words in accordance to what Word says it is. Constructs need their "how to build" section and that usually requires at least 100 words by itself. How should this be dealt with?K Vidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547859700328698093noreply@blogger.com
