Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

So we're OK with some kind of "Immunity To Physical Attacks" special ability.

I'm OK with it.

Presumably the "miss chance" you are talking about is the chance-per-round of spotting the Misi's "scintillating form". The original used an Int-check rather than a flat percentage. It seems similar to the way AD&D allowed high-Int creatures to spot invisible opponents, so should we use an ability check or make it a Spot check like you'd do with invisibility?

If we have a check, I'd prefer Spot to an ability check.

Yes, it looks like we need to include immunity to all physical attacks. Seems a bit at odds with usual mechanics, but ok.

I also prefer a Spot check. It seems like it's more about figuring out how to target it rather than a usual miss chance.

Seems we're all agreed then.

For a change.

It must be a full moon.

It must be a full moon.

Considering how rarely it happens, more like a Blue Moon.

So, what DC will the Spot check be, same as for an invisible creature?

I was thinking a bit less. Maybe DC 30?

That's the same as the DC to spot an invisible creature that's holding still, so I'm not sure how it's a bit less.

Still, I was thinking around DC 30 too, so we might as well use that.

They're only 5HD and shouldn't be more than CR 7 max, I'd think. I'd rather bring it down to DC 25 or so.

Wondered about that myself.

It's close enough to "around DC 30" as far as I'm concerned, so I'm game. Or we could split the difference and go for DC 27.

Better see which Shade prefers.

 

[Shade]

I'm fine with DC 25.
