Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

[Shade]

Sounds good. Updated.

+10 racial for Disguise? And max out Disguise ranks (and perhaps Hide as well).

Is there a good precedent for the "foul water" ability?

Oh, and let's add the Anesthetize ability.

There's the black dragon's corrupt water ability.

 

[freyar]

Ok, we have

A peltast exudes any waste material from itself whenever immersed in water (thus staining and poisoning the water; anyone who drinks the same water must save vs. poison at +2 or become nauseated for 2-8 rounds, unable to attack or defend).

vs

Corrupt Water (Sp): Once per day an adult or older black dragon can stagnate 10 cubic feet of water, making it become still, foul, and unable to support animal life. The ability spoils liquids containing water. Magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence) or become fouled. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell. Its range is equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence.

Maybe something like:

Foul Water (Ex): A peltast placed in water exudes waste materials; this fouls a 5 ft cube of water. A creature that drinks or bathes in fouled water must succeed at a DC X Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds. If the 5 ft cube is part of a larger body of water, the foulness dissipates in 1d6 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.

 

[demiurge1138]

That looks pretty good to me.

 

[Shade]

Agreed. Updated.

We'll need to determine how it deals damage before we can use the anesthetize ability.

 

[freyar]

Bite 1 hp plus attach?

 

[Shade]

That might work. And note that it generally only bites once per day once attached?

 

[freyar]

Oh, and that can be how it drains the hp per day, sure!
