[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8468606, member: 57383"] Anyhow, better get back to the monster conversion before I'm distracted by Hero Forge again! Thinking it over, it would be better to remove the stat-modifier from the healing application and just have it do dice of healing. Then the healing will just depend on how many doses the Pine Kindred uses, so the value per dose is the same for a Thane and a Jarl, but a Jarl can use more doses. I'd make it 2d6 per dose, which averages 7, since the previous versions have the Thane do 1d8+2 (average 6.5) and the Jarl 1d8+3 (7.5) that averages 7, and it also means that if Pine Kindred heals itself (assuming it can do that - I haven't quite decided) it heals 1d6 per dose, since the 1d6 bleeding damage "cancels out" one of the dice in the 2d6 healing. Furthermore, I'd make the Necrotic Sap powers more effective in a Sacrificial Grove. I'm thinking it just takes less damage when performing a sap-sacrifice there, maybe half damage? It could also just "nick itself" to do less damage, but the sap sacrifice will be proportionally less effective. Come to think of it, maybe I should just call the power "Necrotic Sap" and have "Infusion" as the name for usage it can make Touch attacks with? Will combine those ideas into a new Necrotic Sap power and add it to the Thane and Jarl… …Eventually. [/QUOTE]
