They really are psychic warriors.

They did use the elite array, and put 1 ability score increase into Str, the other in Con.

Added to Homebrews.

Spells: A sha'az queen can cast divine spells as a 10th-level cleric. A queen has access to two of the following domains: x. The save DCs are Wisdom-based. A queen's innate spellcasting stacks with any levels it takes in the cleric class. Thus, a 5th-level sha'az queen cleric has a caster level of 15th, and gains spells per day as a 15th-level cleric.

Typical Cleric Spells Prepared (6/6+1/5+1/4+1/4+1/3+1; save DC 15 + spell level):
0th—x;
1st—x;
2nd—x;
3rd—x;
4th—x;
5th—x;
*Domain spell. Domains: x, x.

Wait, the knights should only get 1 stat increase. But compared to the elite array, I don't see any in their abilities. Also, I think I was confused because you mentioned using the standard array for them just upthread.

Are we taking the sha'az egg sidebar out of all but the queen?

Domains: Community, maybe Animal or Air?
Edit: Just saw demiurge's suggestions. How about Community and Protection? I'm not sure these are quite Lawful enough for Law.

I like it.

After we finish the queen, let's go back and review the other three for any errors/extraneous bits since we shifted gears a few times as we progressed.

I'm happy with the suggested spells.

Shall we add Item Mastery as an SA?

Hm. No need for item creation feats... Skill Focus (concentration), Spell Focus (necromancy), Great Fortitude, Weapon Finesse.

Perhaps we should improve it some from a default sha'az. Give it resistance to cold 10, let it deal cold poison on every bite, give it better natural armor and a better shield.

Agreed with all that. Suggested natural armor and bonus for shield?

Let's also give her a wand of something (hold person, enthrall?) to make use of Item Mastery and then she's CR 10.

I bumped her to double standard treasure (it makes sense that the queen would be near the stockpile, right?) and gave her both the suggested wands.

Let's review all of the sha'az before moving on...

Drone
Knight
Queen
Warrior
