What the hell is "Blood Spawn"? The timing suggests 3e, but not the statblock...

And lawful neutral? I call shenanigans. I suspect chaotic good would be most appropriate for the Seelie Queen.

Blood Spawn was a Birthright book (and free download), the same one from which the current seelie faerie conversion appeared.

I'm with ya on chaotic good.

Hey, she has Leomund's lamentable belaborment again!

According to WotC's Fey Feature, Seelie is lawful (preferable LN) and Unseelie chaotic (CN).

Ditto here. The Dragon Compendium templates give an alignment of "any" for seelie court fey, and "any evil" for the unseelies.

I'm happy to go with CG. Oddly, didn't Gwendolyn Kestrel write both of those things?

Let's go 36HD. Sorcerer spellcasting. Yeah, we'll need to improve those abilities a bunch. How high should we aim? Mid-upper twenties for mental stats? I'm not sure the physical ones need too much boosting.

Agreed to mid-to-upper 20s for mental stats, 36 HD, sorcerer casting with clerical spells on the list.

Added to Homebrews.

Suggested AC? I'm thinking unearthly grace is a given here.

Simplify "immune to illusions and charm spells" to immunity to mind-influencing spells and abilities?

Quote:
The Faerie Queen is a creature of such ethereal beauty that any nonfaerie who beholds her must immediately succeed at a saving throw vs. spell or be charmed.
Borrow blinding beauty from the nymph, or modify it to "charming beauty"?

Well, not many illusions are also mind-affecting, so we should say "immune to mind-affecting and illusions". Agreed to unearthly grace. Target AC... in the mid 30s, since she'll be able to boost it with her spells?

Sounds good. Updated.

Any natural armor, or base the rest on her magic?

Thoughts on the blinding/charming beauty?

I'm not sure about giving her natural armor per se, but maybe a high-powered amulet of natural armor would work.

Gear! Good point. She should have a ton of it, and we should specify what.

I could even see a well-enchanted set of mithral chain, couldn't you?

Indeed. Perhaps one with greater silent moves?

So +X greater silent moves elven chain? Maybe +2 or +3? What's reasonable gp cost here?

We should probably make sure she gets barkskin as a spell known.

Since armor enhancements are cheap, I don't think a +5 enhancement bonus in addition to silent moves is unrealistic at her probably CR.
