Converting Al-Qadim creatures

We could keep Iron Will and replace Sidestep Charge. It would get much more mileage out of Divine Might.

Make it so, sir.

I like that.

Feats: Divine Might, Iron Will, Power Attack.

I don't like Challenge Rating 10 for them, they look more like CR8 like the SRD Lammasu. They're a bit stronger than a Lammasu despite having worse melee damage, since they have the same level of clerical ability and their other magical & psionic powers are better. I could see us going up to CR9, but no higher than that.

Its Sleight of Hand should be +14, not +12, according to my calculations it doesn't have the +2 synergy bonus from Bluff. Either that or its Concentration should be +13.

Oh, and their rake attack should do less damage. It shouldn't have the +1 Strength bonus, and its claw damage is only 1d3.

What about swapping Power Attack for Improved Natural Attack? The Opinicus gets a +8 to hit, but I would think they wouldn't want to sacrifice many of those points for extra damage.

Then again, Improved Natural Attack would only bump it up to 1d4 for the claw attacks.

Well as usual we could just increase the claw damage if we wanted too and not change the feat.

I'm not that happy with Power Attack though.

We've got plenty of other options though.

Maybe Ability Focus (sun sparkles), or AF in a PLA like id insinuation? Although I prefer the +2 DC on the sparkles.

Power Attack is a prereq for Divine Might.

Let's do that voodoo that Cleon do... make claw damage 1d4.

Do we want to consider any racial feats? Like Ability Focus on Sun Sparkles.

 

[Shade]

I can go down to CR 9 .

1d4 claw damage sounds good.

Rather than Ability Focus as a bonus feat, let's just assign it a racial bonus on the save DC to sun sparkles.

Updated.

An opinicus stands 3 feet high at the shoulder, weighs x pounds, and has a wingspan of 12 feet. Most opinicus are colored a light buff to a golden brown with slightly darker faces and wings. Opinicus have a lifespan of several centuries.

Opinicus speak Celestial and Common?

I'm happy with sun sparkles DC as it is. The claw damage doesn't bother me either way.

Thoughts on these?
