Unwieldy or not, it might be important for a crew that actually can cast one of the darkness spells on the al-Jahar and another on the intended victim... granting a +2 bonus to the victim's save and reducing the al-Jahar's Save DC by 2. Not only that, but reducing the al-Jahar's DC by 2...

Technically, darkness spells. While I like the simplicity of a straightforward +2 bonus for the victim, lowering the Save DC has a certain appeal to me.

You're speaking my language. ;) Based, perhaps, on the Spell Level of the light spell in question?

Anyone mind if they lose the Bewitching Lights abilities after three months of no feeding, or should that be sooner? Also regarding Bewitching Lights, what is the effect of darkness spells? It doesn't need to be physical damage... but is that significant enough to thwart the Bewitching Lights...

Because those abilities come from their luminous bodies... they are motes of light. So, when in a different form, those abilities cannot be manifested as they are visual in nature. Their other Spell-Like and Psi-Like Abilities apparently do not come from their light. It might not even mean...

Hell!... you wasted no time while EN World was down for maintenance! Certainly put Disguise... I intended to put that in, but never double-checked. The skill list is pretty sharp, too. And you're absolutely right about Telempathic Projection... that's perfect. Your idea of a psionic...

Will these skills work: Bluff, Concentrate, Diplomacy, Forgery, Gather Information, Hide, Intimidate, Perform, Sense Motive. Or less with the Hide and Perform? I figured the Perform could be focused on Acting, but they already will have Bluff and Diplomacy. Perhaps just 5 ranks in Perform...

Just looking at the Google translator, it says "al-Jahar" means Manifest... though "Jahar" means Hole or Terrier. The more I use that thing, the more I shake my head at the terms used in Al-Qadim. ;) All metamagic feats effectively "heighten" the Spell Level of SLAs... and those other than...

Change Shape is a much better idea than an alter self spell-like ability... including the duration. The idea of a Quickened flare SLA works well! In fact, we could Heighten it and get the Save DC up to a very respectable level. Speaking of boosting Save DCs for SLAs... should it have lesser...

Check my earlier edit on blur versus flare. Also, blindness is already part of the creature's SLA repertoire as listed in the original text. The main reason I would consider making it a Fey creature is only to preserve the ambiguity of the creature's origins. Other than that, Outsider...

Stuff like Hit Dice, alignment, attack damage, and spell-like abilities are extracted below: Regarding type: With the ambiguity in the write-up, do we make these guys Monstrous Humanoids, Outsiders, or something else entirely... like Fey? Regarding possible vulnerabilities: As they are...

It is worth noting the following details from other entries in the City of Delights boxed set: From the Glossary: From the Opinicus entry: Are al-Jahar classified as Outsiders? ...maybe, maybe they too were summoned to Zakhara. From the Vargouille entry: But probably just very, very old...

I would have had this up sooner, but I actually had a fairly serious virus problem with my computer. (Speak of the devil...) Al-Jahar Monstrous Compendium supplement from the City of Delights boxed set for Al-Qadim CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Urban FREQUENCY: Very rare ORGANIZATION: Solitary ACTIVITY...

Al-Jahar, for some reason, seem to be the biggest trouble... with Pasari-Niml right behind them. Let's tackle al-Jahar first. :cool: Thanks.

There are still a few MC13 monsters left, but I wanted to get a halfway decent conversion on some of those City of Delights monsters since my current campaign is heavily based in Huzuz right now and has Pasari-Niml, Tatalla, and Tasked Deceiver Genies in some upcoming encounters... and I'm eager...

For me it sounds great... very hospitable. Of course, if anyone else needs a particular monster converted for their campaign I don't want to dominate the requests.

Cleon might have something. But when the Winemaker is done we should be finished with the MC13 tasked genies. Before we jump over to the tasked genies from the boxed sets, would anyone mind tackling a few monsters from the City of Delights boxed set? Perhaps the al-Jahar, the Pasari-Niml...

On the downside, it makes them kind of a One Man Band, which doesn't quite fit the setting (the Al-Qadim campaign specifically, as well as fantasy campaigns)... but then again, they are tasked genies. It wouldn't be hard to fathom that they would be asked to do those things occasionally. In...

Will this work at all? The languages and description should be fine.

You just made my effing day, Cleon! "That's because it's a different kind of grapecrushing." Actually, Profession (farming) and Profession (vintner) make for a good combo. And the kukri is a great choice. Maybe a Racial Bonus to Appraise skill checks when judging or analyzing wine. Do we...
