I'd prefer force screen to empty mind. The rest look good.

Sure! How do we want to do the telepathy? Should we keep the failure chances?

Updated.

I see no real advantage to keeping the failure chances. It just seems unnecessarily complicated to me, but you might convince me otherwise.

I'm neutral-negative on the failure changes. I say ditch 'em.

Agreed. Maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll get a chance to write up this telepathy bit if you guys don't first.

Ahh, why do I volunteer for things? Before I move on to the telepathy, did we forget about putting a "sha'az drone" sidebar in the sha'az warrior write up? I thought we were just going to say that the drones are commoners with no flight and the same statistics otherwise. Or are we giving them their own statblock?

Hive Telepathy (Su): Each sha'az knight may communicate telepathically with its colony's queen to a range of five miles.

(I went with a range with a decent failure chance.)

Updated the knight. Anything left before moving on to the drone?

Do we need to specify that psychic warrior levels stack with it's psionic manifesting?

Edit: Actually, we shouldn't need to, as the flavor text notes that the sample knight is a 4th-level psychic warrior.

Shouldn't they have d4 HD as commoners?

Just thinking: maybe we only need to include the sha'az egg poison in the queen's statblock, since presumably they're the only ones that lay eggs (and have them around).

Oops! You are correct on the d4.

Also, I agree with your assessment on the eggs.

Agreed to all suggestions. Also, let's reduce the natural armor to +1 or +2 to make the AC a bit more reasonable for CR 1/2. Finally, since these don't have poison, should the LA drop some?

Combo of lower AC and poison should reduce the LA by 1.

Favored class? (Can commoner be a favored class?)
