I have a Tannar'ri (Palrethee demon, MM2) which does not get the usual Tanar'ri resistance to cold attacks. Having added the Tanar'ri subtype, how do I remove or block the "Damage Resist Cold" from the Special Abilities list?
I've searched the forum, but haven't turned up anything that will help.

There's a couple different things you can do.
1) You can assign the tag Helper.SpecUp to the special through a script. ie:
perform hero.childfound[xDamRsCold].assign[Helper.SpecUp]
2) Or you can assign 0 to the Value field. ie:
hero.childfound[xDamRsCold].field[Value].value = 0
Both options will remove it from the specials tab. I don't have a personal preference.

(No multi-attack) I have the claw attacks set as primary and the claw attack/damage works correctly when trident is selected/deselected as weapon, but I can't work out why the weapon damage is different. Any ideas?
Thanks and regards!

Internally, HL automatically applies a STR bonus of 1.5 when a creature only has 1 natural weapon. Looks like the Harpoon Spider has 2, so this shouldn't happen. However, the weapon "fang" probably isn't set up as a natural weapon. I'll have to set that up for you.
Not sure what's happening with the Mezzoloth. I'd probably have to be able to see it.
