I'd be happy to drop any powers with mental-based DCs. Do we have any precedent for that?
Well, let's do it anyway!
You know, I don't think I'd change the HD size, just following the idea that these things are largely physically unchanged from the base creature.
Anyway, for special attacks, how about "A Phlegamor's servant loses all special attacks derived from character classes, all Sp abilities, and all special attacks with Int-based, Wis-based, or Cha-based save DCs."?
Think we should make the SQ line more specific also?
True enough; I don't really object to changing HD size and mostly just wanted to throw the idea out there.
Would something similar to my proposal for SAs work for SQs in your opinion?
True enough. Hmmm.
What about this?
Special Qualities: A Phlegamor's servant loses special qualities based on character classes or the base creature's original mind but retains special qualities based on the base creature's physical attributes. In addition, it gains the following special qualities.
