I gotta catch up! :D Though, it's looking damn nice. Yeah, make it 4d6 for evil outsiders!

Definitely use a good-aligned plane... possibly exclusively. ADDITIONAL: Probably not exclusively. I'm backing away from that right now. ;)

Regarding psionics: Do we want to do two versions, like the illithids with one using "psionics" based on spells and another using the proper psionic version? Scanning through the psionic monsters for old Psionic Attacks and Psionic Defenses, it looks like most of them only have a few powers...

Listed in 3.5: Control air, dimension door (psionic), dream travel, inertial barrier, levitate (psionic), teleport (psionic), and teleport trigger. Dimension walk and probability travel are not listed... what are the 3.5 versions? Is animate object now control object? Is time/space anchor now...

They are lovely... however, in regards to the frequency of the word "such" we ought to to in the other direction. Each sentence ought to have at least one "such", and as such some of them ought to both start and end with "such". ;)

I'd cut most if not all of the Attack and Defense related powers as they don't fit the style of the Opinicus. The attacks that confuse might fit, though.

This is the 3rd edition details on the Opinicus' psionic powers Do we eliminate the Attack & Defense powers... obviously those powers still exist, but they are all integrated into the rest of the powers, right? I believe a number of creatures that used to have Attack and Defense Modes simply...

Should we start by bringing the Psionics up to 3.5, or start on another part?

I'm inclined to say they are PLAs.

I'm in favor of simply adjusting that version... it ought to be less work.

If you look in heraldry, the Opinicus is a variation on the Griffon. However, I vaguely recall some connection or similarities to the Shedu. Remember the other text I grabbed from the Glossary of the City of Delights: It is all pretty vague, though.

Opinicus From the City of Delights Monstrous Appendix sheets. Right out of the gate: Presumably it is an Outsider CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Any surface ruins ORGANIZATION: Solitary INTELLIGENCE: 16 ALIGNMENT: Chaotic good NO. APPEARING: 1-2 ARMOR CLASS: Possibly a good Dex, some kind of natural armor...

Damn! I already did! lol Yeah, let's do the opinicus. We can do the standard and the psionic version.

It looks pretty nailed down to me. Which one should we tackle next? Alphabetical in City of Delights or just hit Pasari-Niml or Tatalla?

We might as well use your exact phrasing. That sounds good. If we continue with the Pasari Niml and Tatalla we might as well finish off the monsters appendix from City of Delights and include the Opinicus. Either that or simply make it immune to fear spells and effects. I think most of the...

Not an earth-shattering improvement, but yeah... shimmer works better. When I say the description out loud, 'wavers' makes me think the thing is signing legal documents. ;)

I like your rewrite... and the description text works better. You might want to move references to the Haunted Lands and the Ruined Kingdoms out of the general write up and only leave them in the Al-Qadim notes.

We'll need to add immunity to light spells and effects and emotion-affecting spells and effects: "A dazzle is immune to light-generating and emotion-affecting spells and effects, except the sun-sparkle gaze of the opinicus." How would we state that? Just as is? Regarding the Opinicus, do we...

But surely that's a feature... not a bug. ;) After thinking about it some more, your recent idea seems the best of the bunch... block it entirely by darkness spells. It makes the most sense and it is unambiguous.

I'm sure you were... that's why I added the idea.
