Inspired by watching Liz play Half-Life 2, as well as working on an aberrant-heavy Eberron campaign.
For head crab zombies, you could use a normal zombie but remove zombie weakness. Poison headcrabs are basically headcrabs that also deal ongoing poison damage on a hit.
I know that I'm late, but I just read this a few months ago. This morning I actually looked at the zombies, and I think that zombie weakness sort of fits the implied flavor. A critical hit knocks the crab off of the zombie.

That is a good point, as I recall in the game shooting it off also stopped them. So instead of a headshot, it is just a crabshot.

ReplyDeleteOh, and maybe poison headcrabs should be level 2?
