Converting monsters from First Edition modules

Control Temperature (Su): Aeraldoth can control the temperature of the air around him, in a radius of 100 feet. As a swift action, he can raise or lower the temperature by 10 degrees. This change affects the entire radius, and additional uses of the ability are cumulative with the previous uses.

Still not sure that sounds quite right, but I think it's on the right track.

Streamlining a tad...

Control Temperature (Su): As a swift action, Aeraldoth can raise or lower the temperature by 10 degrees in a 100-foot-radius centered on him. Subsequent uses of this ability stack, so he could, for example, lower the temperature by a total of 20 degrees after two rounds.

Yeah, that's it!

Shall we give this guy a nice weapon like we did for the Pasha of the Efreet? We gave him a +3 flaming burst unholy falchion.

Maybe a scimitar?

 

[dhaga]

Definitely a scimitar. Something electric, I would say.

 

[Shade]

+3 keen shocking burst?

 

[dhaga]

+3 keen shocking burst?

Sounds glorious.
