[net.games.frp] Hit Dice

grindal@utcsrgv.UUCP (David Grindal) (10/12/83)

In both the old Monster Manual, and the new Monster Manual II, there are
many "monsters" -usually gods or demons or the like)- who under 
Hit Dice have a set number of hit points rather than a number of hit dice.

	The recently discussed Orcus is one of these for example.  He is listed
as having 120 hit points, not N hit dice.   How do you determine what these
monsters hit as?  Do you take 120/4.5 using 4.5 as the average roll?
Do they automatically hit at some predetermined level?  

	Responses and comments please.  I'm trying to design a quest to 
destroy a particularly nasty monster in MMII and it is listed only as 300
hit points.
