[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5232111, member: 57383"] Have we forgotten about the sandman? How about this for a rough draft. The stats are based on an average of a Wraith and a Dread Wraith. I think we'd better give it an attack that does some kind of damage, so it can deal with intruders particularly annoy it. Besides, the "A Sandman will not attack any sleeping (or recently slept) Character unless..." bit implies it can do [I]something[/I] to sleeping victims if sufficiently riled. Maybe an abrasive sand-blast doing X damage? An incorporeal touch that causes fatigue, exhaustion and then Str drain? Finally, making it mindless doesn't gibe very well with me. I'd consider making it Intelligent, or adding an Intelligent version as a sub-entry. (Maybe the "mindless sandmen" are creations of the Intelligent one, like a combination of an [I]unseen servant[/I] and a [I]simulacra[/I]? [B]Sandman Rough Draft[/B] Medium Outsider (Incorporeal) Hit Dice: 9d8 (40 hp) Initiative: +3 Speed: Fly 10 ft. (2 squares) (perfect) Armor Class: 20 (+6 Dex, +4 deflection), touch 20, flat-footed 14 Base Attack/Grapple: +9/— Attack: incorporeal touch ? Full Attack: 2 incorporeal touches ?
