Converting Epic Level Creatures

Added to Homebrews.

We'll need to equip it with weapons, obviously.

Well, the easiest thing to do would be to pick 8 weapons of the same type and do "primary longsword" (or whatever) and 7 "secondary longswords" like the marilith, I guess.

Agreed! The alternative is...painful.

 

[freyar]

Stick to longswords as the most common weapon they'll find? Or shortswords or whatever? Or do we want to pick something a little more interesting?

Sickles or picks?

 

[freyar]

Sickles sound fun!

If I remember correctly, my first rough draft used Large battleaxes. I still like those. Although now I like Gargantuan throwing axes even better, since they allow for ranged attacks as well.

That would work out something like:

Attack: Throwing axe +22 melee (3d6+14) or bite +22 melee (1d6+14 plus 1d6 electricity) or claw +22 melee (1d4+14 plus 1d6 electricity) or slam +22 melee (1d4+14 plus 1d6 electricity) or throwing axe +9 ranged (3d6+14)
Full Attack: Throwing axe +22/+17/+12 melee (3d6+14) and 7 throwing axes +22 melee (3d6+14) and 8 bites +22 melee (1d6+14 plus 1d6 electricity) and 8 claws +22 melee (1d4+14 plus 1d6 electricity); or 8 bites +22 melee (1d6+14 plus 1d6 electricity) and 8 claws +22 melee (1d4+14 plus 1d6 electricity) and 8 slams +22 melee (1d4+14 plus 1d6 electricity); or 8 throwing axes +9 ranged (3d6+14)

Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!

Hmm, although if substitute Gargantuan tridents for the light axes then the melee and ranged damages become 4d6+14, which is even better.

Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike!

 

[freyar]

Oooh, I like the idea of throwing axes or even tridents. Hehehehe.

 

[Shade]

Tridents sound fun, and are woefully underused outside of aquatic settings and gladiatorial arenas.

Updated.

Should metal weapons conduct its electricity as well, like this creature?

Shock (Ex): A temperament generates so much electricity that its mere touch deals additional electricity damage. Temperaments' metallic weapons also conduct this electricity.
