Re: Q'nidar --> A vexing issue of immunity

I choose 64 for two reasons, one it was divisible by 8... the amount of
hours before it fully digest the energy, and second in the original it
stopped after absorbing 5 to 6 hull points (in 2nd edition each hull point
equals 10 hit points)... as such I figure that equals about 50 to 60 hit
points with the q'nidar wanting to feed before it has fully consumed its
energy. so 64 was close to the mark of 60 and was divisible by 8.

Hope that was clear enough, if not *shug* I will have to ask my friend to
find a better way to word it.
