Stat this up # 1

[Cleon]

Sorry, I think my last post was cross-posted with Nookie's, so I didn't see what he'd said.

Anyway, I will approve that start to their statblock. I see what Nookie's saying about the NA, but I do think the SLA-like effect is nicely flavorful and allows for perhaps interesting tactics on the part of the PCs.

Yes, basically I though making it a (Su) or (Sp) was a bit more interesting than a dull old natural armour increase, plus a +3 jump is quite a big jump for a Diminutive to Tiny size change. Normal size advancement between those sizes doesn't give a NA bonus.

Okie-dokey, I'll add it to the Shroomling Working Draft.

all thse look good. But why not just give them +3 Na instead of a spell effect.Im ok with them being just Toucher.

Well you see, this Nymph had an encounter with a Gorri "toucher" and complained to the Druid police who arrested him for public indecency, so all the other elder shroomlings insisted they were decent barkskins who wouldn't dream of making improper contact with a woodland lady. Then they claimed the perpetrator was a Satyr using a disguise self potion...

LOL, well when you guys put it that way i agree with the SLA. Interesting is always better.

So, assuming we make the barkskin (Su) is it continuous and unbreakable like a Unicorn's magic circle against evil, switchable like a Pixie's greater invisibility, or dispellable like Storm Giant's freedom from movement?

e.g.:

Barkskin #1 (Su): This ability continuously duplicates the effect of the barkskin spell (caster level HD+2). A gorri shroomling cannot suppress this ability.

Barkskin #2 (Su): This ability duplicates the effect of the barkskin spell (caster level HD+2). This ability is constant, but the gorri shroomling can suppress or resume it as a free action.

Barkskin #3 (Su): Gorri shroomlings have a continuous barkskin ability as the spell (caster level HD+2). The effect can be dispelled, but the gorri can create it again on its next turn as a free action.

NUmber 3 looks good and most interesting to me.

Fine by me. I'll update the Shroomling Working Draft with that, since Freyar seems busy up at the moment.

Yes, option 3 was closest to what I was thinking anyway.

Great!

So, assuming the rest of the stat changes in the outline are OK, what additional powers shall we be giving the Gorri.

 

[freyar]

Well, we could add a new spore type, but I'm coming up blank for that. Some more powerful or more offense-oriented SLAs (starting with entangle) might work.

 

[Nookie]

Well a few more SLA and or maybe one more quil power or one more spore power. (Or both )

I'd rather add a Spore power or two. I'd like them to be the elders/wise ones of the shroomlings, not their veteran warriors.
