Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

I think I'm with Shade on this one. Rapid Shot is really designed for normal missile fire, and I think it would just be confusing.

I'll go along with that.

What about changing "resisted by a brooch of shielding" to "blocked by"?

 

[freyar]

Changing to "blocked by" is fine with me. Might be clearer that way.

Let's do that then.

What else do we have to sort out?

Updated.

An oculon stands 4 feet tall at the shoulder, with a 3-foot long flexible neck. It weighs about x pounds.

Does Construction need any revision? The CL seems a bit high.

150 pounds? They're shorter than a typical human, barring their elongated neck.

Definitely, and the cost seems too high as well.

I'd probably halve the CL to 9th level.

What price seems reasonable to you, I'm thinking somewhere around 5,000 to 10,000 gp.

How about 8,000 gp - a thousand per HD plus a thousand for the materials?

 

[Shade]

The caster level looks about right.

The price is a bit low, compared to other golems of similar CR. Eyeballing a few other golems in that range, it looks like around 15,000 or 16,000 would be reasonable.

We should probably drop limited wish from the prereqs, since it is a bit high-level compared to the rest.

That seems too high. A Flesh Golem is only 4,000 to 5,000 more than that and a lot tougher.

Go for somewhere inbetween, like 13,000 gp - 12,000 plus 1,000 for materials?

We should probably drop limited wish from the prereqs, since it is a bit high-level compared to the rest.

I was thinking that too.

Putting it together:

Construction
The oculon's body is shaped from a mixture of water, a gland from a purple worm, the central eye of a beholder, one pint of the creator’s blood, and the brain of a rogue. Acquiring these materials costs a total of 1,000 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 13 Craft (sculpting) check.

CL 9th; Craft Construct, geas/quest, magic missile, unseen servant, caster must be at least 9th level; Price 13,000 gp; Cost 7,000 gp + 480 XP.

Looks good!

Updated. Finnished?

Seems fine.

Although I don't see what the Finns have to do with them.
