[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9469811, member: 57383"] Just noticed a typo in the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9230172']Scarlet Death Working Draft[/URL][/B]. Its tendrils do 3d6 + 5 but I mistyped a 7 instead. Will fix that in the next update. [IMG]https://www.enworld.org/attachments/screenshot-2024-09-29-090851-jpg.381110/[/IMG] Going though the above in order. The Enworld version doesn't have "typically" in its alignment, it's just "[i]neutral evil[/i]" like the original monster. It doesn't have [b]Condition Immunity[/b] frightened in Enworld. Am fine upgrading [i][b]Shifting Mists[/b][/i] to be more like a Goblin's [i][b]Nimble Escape[/b][/i]. Will do that in the next upgrade. Just realized the [b]Description[/b] has a logical clash. It's got "A scarlet death speaks in an eerie whisper but has no interest in communicating with the living" while the Languages has "understands the languages of creatures it has killed with life drain [color=magenta][b]but can't speak[/b][/color]." How about changing the paragraph to: [indent] A scarlet death is a vaporous undead that haunts marshes, moors and other locales that are naturally misty or foggy. It is so named because the normally whitish creature flushes red after draining blood. This undead resembles a small cloud with a vaguely humanoid top half with two arms that trail off like smoky tendrils and a head that's featureless apart from eyes like white lamps. The lower half is a misty mass floating over the ground. [color=magenta]A scarlet death's voice is an eerie whisper incomprehensible to other creatures, and even if the death could speak it has no interest in talking to the living[/color]. [/indent] I'm still favouring the 4E-based [b][s]Vampiric[/s] [color=crimson]Blood[/color] Mist[/b] as the next conversion, then do one of the monstrosity mists. [/QUOTE]
