Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the fey

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews.

The phiz is detectable only 25% of the time (50% for druids and elves) when its eyes and mouth are closed; thus, it is effectively camouflaged. The phiz may appear on any sort of wood, although oak is most common.

Camouflage (like the assassin vine), and allow bonuses for druids and elves, similar to the bonus for stonecunning for subterranean assassin vines?

The phiz, like the treant, abhors fire, but it does not fear it as most treants do. The phiz spits on any fire within range and often on anyone bearing a torch or lighting a campfire. The spit, a magical acidic resin secreted by the faerie phiz, causes all fires smaller than 2½ in diameter to be completely extinguished. The saliva of the phiz also affects any live target as if an irritation spell had been cast on it, with the effects of both itching and rash occurring. The phiz may spit at any point within a distance of up to 100 yards within a clear line of sight.

I'm pretty sure we did a conversion that also used an irritation mechanic. Will look...

The other part sounds like quench.

Irritation was given to the nickel dragons.

I know this because I'm using one of them in my game next week. It's going to be sweet.

This is looking pretty good.

I'm agreeable to camouflage with the druid & elf bonus, as well as the quench and irritation spit.

Great! Let us know how it goes.

How's this for the spittle?

Spit (Ex): Once every 1d4 round (or x/day?), a faerie phiz may spit a flame-suppressing gob up to 300 feet. This functions as a quench spell (caster level equals faerie phiz's Hit Dice). Living creatures hit by the spittle must succeed on a DC X Fortitude save or suffer an intense itching sensation. This itching imposes a -4 penalty on Armor Class and a -2 penalty on attack rolls and Dexterity-based checks for 1d4 rounds. Additionally, an affected creature must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast a spell. An affected creature can spend a full-round action to scratch itself, thereby ending the effect.

Pretty good! Should we say that it functions as quench if it hits a fire?

 

[Shade]

The second sentence implies that, no?

 

[demiurge1138]

DC X should be Con-based.

Sort of, but quench doesn't require a ranged touch.

Agreed to Con-based.

Revising...

Spit (Ex): Once every 1d4 round (or x/day?), a faerie phiz may spit a flame-suppressing gob up to 300 feet. If it strikes a fire, this functions as a quench spell (caster level equals faerie phiz's Hit Dice). Living creatures hit by the spittle must succeed on a DC X Fortitude save or suffer an intense itching sensation. This itching imposes a -4 penalty on Armor Class and a -2 penalty on attack rolls and Dexterity-based checks for 1d4 rounds. Additionally, an affected creature must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast a spell. An affected creature can spend a full-round action to scratch itself, thereby ending the effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Preferences for uses per day or ever 1dx rounds?

 

[freyar]

No less often than 1d4 rounds, and I'd be happy with at will, which is what I think the original had.
