The Abedzu's many body ability takes pride of place here again.

Abilities
Again, the fact that the Abedzu is made up of many creatures is useful... But for normal abilities, there aren't any. Yet. Remember, this is V 1.0.
In 1.5, there will be six different species of Abedzu,each with different abilities, such as the Ourani's ability to, once the central node is dead, seek out another central node and join that one. Because the greatest weakness of the Abedzu is that once the central node is dead, the other nodes are useless...
Skills
This is where the Abedzu excels. There are actually two different types of creature in an Abedzu. There is the Central Node (Looks like a Lantern Achon) and the outer Nodes (Look like Will-O-Wisps). It can hit with the combined might of twenty level 10 creatures and a level 25 creature. A deadly foe even for an epic character...
The scripts are powerful but small. One makes the Outer Nodes follow the Central Node and get paralyzed if they go too far away from the central node, and the other makes the Central Node seek out lost Abedzu who have been paralyzed by lack of communication. Here lies the Abedzu's greatest weakness, if the outer nodes

Description
The Abedzu are hyperintelligent groupminds with as many as twenty to thirty pieces. In this package is one such creature... or creatures, or both...

Good idea, needs some polish to make the concept more "user-friendly" though. Please see my first comment.

I like the concept very much.
I think it would help alot if you :
- added a module to your zip though to demonstrate the abilities of your creatures. People do not necessarily know what to do with an ERF file
- created ready-to-use creature templates for each of your Abedzu's
- did not lock the first door :)
Thank you for your contribution, Golem, I am certain to find a good use for it in surprising my players *grins*

Oh, sorry. I would have uploaded the cave, but I forgot. Also, the main mind will follow waypoints, yes, and so the rest of the Abedzu will follow that. How did you like the expansion? The newest one's been posted, but it's still pending approval. The newest one doesn't have a cave either, sorry, but on the next one I'll see what I can do.

Okay here is what I found
I loaded the set and it seemed to work as promised!
When I got the expansion there was no new cave - you need to make a new example cave so folks can see what changed in comparison
Question - will the main mind follow a way point if I set that up?

Thanks! You might not be able to vote because you're not logged in? Thanks for tha AI comment, I'm in the middle of a completely new set of scripts for the entire Abedzu. A new version will soon be on the vault (I posted it earlier) with a new ability.
