[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9460712, member: 57383"] Updating the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9230172']Scarlet Death Working Draft[/URL][/B]. Okay, let's do [b]Special Traits[/b] next. Your Rough Draft has a lot of traits from the [b]Vampire Mist[/b] that the 3E version of the Crimson Death lacks, such as [i][b]Forbiddance[/b][/i] and [i][b]Sunlight Hypersensitivity[/b][/i]. Also, [i][b]Unusual Nature[/b][/i] seems unnecessary unless all the other Undead in 5E have gained a requirement to eat and sleep they lacked in earlier editions without anyone telling me. So we can cut most of the traits out. Just giving the Scarlet Death [i][b]Misty Form[/b][/i] would make it pretty much a match for the 3E undead version. I'd be fine adding [i][b]Lifesense[/b][/i] though, as it's a such good fit to its nature: [indent] [i][b]Life Sense.[/b][/i] The scarlet death can sense the location of any creature within 60 feet of it, unless that creature's type is construct or undead. This increases to 120 feet if the creature is less than full hit points. [i][b]Misty Form.[/b][/i] The scarlet death can occupy another creature's space and vice versa. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the death can pass through it without squeezing. Each foot of movement in water costs it 2 extra feet, rather than 1 extra foot. The scarlet death can't manipulate objects in any way that requires fingers or manual dexterity. [/indent] [/QUOTE]
