Psst. Change "arcane" to "mercane" in the flavor-text, since that what our favorite mercantile blue Lurch-impersonators are called in 3e. Also, the combat text says that tri-beams are fired as a standard action, whereas the Attack line has only the one on a standard, and all three as a full...

I much prefer the magical beast with cold resistance to an outsider.

I think I'd rather they got dismissal as an SLA, but I'll go with the consensus.

Well, the greater's going to have a much higher Con, presumably. Let's shoot for a CR of 9 on it, so that way an encounter with swarm and greater is a solid EL 10.

I'm thinking Large due to The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. In our exceptions, do we want to say that fire causes the wooden lady to emit smoke like a smokestick? The radius-per-damage is clunky, especially in the modern, 5ft-centric D&Dscape.

Monsters of Faerun has a diamond golem that we could look to for comparison. If I recall correctly, it's also got light-based powers.

Dire Charge and Reckless Offense.

Oof. This is going to be complicated. My suggestion? Two sets of stats. Tomb warden, and tomb warden heart. Each warden is considered to be a seperate entity, but all in a location are tied to a heart, which gives them rejuvenation so long as it remains intact and can do the tentacled thing...

OK, we start with an elephant and boost its natural AC. Raise Con a little, drop Dex a bit, perhaps. Switch stomps for claws, add burrow speed. Perhaps a bit of DR/- for the thick armor. This is going to be a magical beast, after all, we can get more elaborate on the SQs (although I think DR/-...

How about Lightning Reflexes, Persuasive or Negotiator and Weapon Finesse as feats?

No, I like the Self-Concealment and Improved Feint a lot.

1d6 Con initial and secondary is as high as I'm willing to go on the poison damage.

I like that dimensional anchor suggestion. The half damage from damaging spells was why I suggested evasion in the first place. I think they should stick to polymorph--there are a number of outsiders with it, like succubi and efreet.

Sounds good! I would have liked to squeeze Epic Dodge in there somewhere, but it's got brutal prereqs. Maybe as a bonus feat?

I'd rather not have the solidifying webs, but I do like the liquification foiling raise dead. Not ressurection, though. If disintegrated ashes count for ressurection, so should a bucket full of PC. I do agree with Cleon's feat suggestions.

Crossbows have moving, complicated parts. Bows you pull back and fire. Javelins you just throw. So I'd prefer bows or javelins to crossbows.

Should we give them sprint, and/or an ability to make turns when charging?

CR 4 seems reasonable, ditto advancement.

Ability Focus (whine), Weapon Focus (bite), Combat Expertise, Persuasive?

It is explicitly not extraplanar, so no evil and extraplanar subtypes. They need light blindness. I do not like the suggestion of them always radiating a magic circle vs. good, nor the seperation of their darkness aura and darkness SLA.
