Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

Fluffwise, the PFRPG banshee Int is the usual "undead don't remember past life" bit with the addition of a horrible betrayal at death shredding their sanity. Note that the "greater banshee" variant still has Int 16.

So for these, I'd be happy with Int 16, Cha 17.

Attack: Incorporeal touch +8 melee (1d6 plus xdx positive energy)

...and add to the Tactics...

"A cariad ysbryd's incorporeal touch attack infuses a target with positive energy. Undead foes (even incorporeal ones) take an additional xdx points of damage. The cariad ysbryd can channel this positive energy into living creatures as well, healing up to xdx points of damage. The cariad ysbryd can control its positive energy enough to avoid healing living foes (dealing only the base damage)."

That'd suit me.

Of course it makes them an "unlimited healing monkey", so I'd be concerned about the PCs conscripting one.

I wouldn't worry too much. Plenty of other critters fill that same role, and none of them would probably follow a party for long.

You know, now I want to stat up an Unlimited Healing Monkey. Maybe they work in symbiosis with some man-eating monster and feed off its scraps...

Anyhow, the cariad's positive energy touch looks good to me.

1d6 damage plus 1d6 positive energy?
