Converting Planescape monsters

An excellent question, and I agree with your assessment. :devil:

That works for me, too.

Suggested duration for suppresed planar travel and flight (or stick with until spine is removed, and give details on how a nightmare can do that)?

Umm, I'm going to say 1d8 rounds because I like rolling things, but that's pretty arbitrary.

The spine has to be removed, doing damage unless a DC 20 (?) Heal check is made.

That's fine. Standard action to remove the spine? Or should it be tougher for a horsey-thing to reach around and pull it out?

I think DC 20 should suffice, since most nightmares won't have the skill. They may need to rely on their rider, and most evil guys don't bother taking the skill either. :devil:

Standard action for things with hands, full round for those without.

Let's let the shoulder blades act like lances, ie double damage on charging. The bite option should be something like a rend, on a critical only, although it can make hoof attacks normally.

Agreed to all that. I think we had a bite version of a rend recently, too. Maybe in the prehistoric thread?

I believe it was this...

Maul (Ex): A mara that hits an opponent with both claw attacks immediately hits with its subsequent bite attack.

How's this?

Impaling Maul (Ex): A sohmien that hits an opponent with its gore attack immediately hits with its subsequent bite attack.

Powerful Charge (Ex): When a sohmien charges, its gore attack deals 2d8+8points of damage.
