Converting "generic setting" Second Edition monsters

Well, to be fair on the DR, we've done stuff like obsidian before, haven't we?

The rest is looking good.

Funnily enough, that was the precedent I was thinking of.

How about DR 10/obsidian or cold iron?

 

[Shade]

Interesting. I wonder how I let that slip by?

Ahh...probably an Oriental Adventures creature. They have DR/jade and DR/obsidian in that book.

It may have been Maztica (or was that only for weapons?).

Anyway, I guess I'd go with cold iron for the DR, since I wouldn't mind playing up the connection to demons a bit.

Cold iron alone would do, but I quite like the idea of throwing in obsidian as well.

I'll leave it up the Shade to decide.

Let's toss 'em both into the mix.

Since these things are oracles, shall we give 'em this?

Knowledgeable (Ex): A being of the ball makes Knowledge checks for any Knowledge skills as if it had a minimum of 10 ranks in that skill. To surpass the 10-rank minimum, the being must assign more than 10 ranks to the skill as normal.

 

[freyar]

Yup, I was thinking of that too.

Sounds good. I wonder if they shouldn't have augury and/or contact other plane as SLAs as well?

Skills: 12 at 13 ranks
Bluff, Concentration, Gather Information, Knowledge (the planes)...

Feats: Multiattack, 3 more
Blind-Fight, Eyes In The Back Of Your Head, Jack of All Trades...

 

[freyar]

Those two other SLAs would make a lot of sense.

And I like those three feats.

Must consider skills later...

Are there any other divination spells that seem appropriate - arcane sight or legend lore? How about giving them the clairsentience psionic power object reading?

Those skills and feats seem fine to me.
