Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luz" data-source="post: 7322482" data-attributes="member: 94725">[MENTION=6796566]epithet[/MENTION]: just out of curiosity, why the swallow whole ability? Everything else about your retriever is a bang-on conversion from the original (with the exception of the plane shift.) Was it just to make it a little more dangerous? Swallow whole just seems like an odd choice for a giant spider creature.Regardless, of all the 5e retrievers I've seen I prefer yours. There is another in the <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/193100/Planar-Bestiary" target="_blank">Planar Bestiary</a> by Chris "Goober" Ramsley that is almost identicle; his is a CR15 creature with 230 hp, two claw attacks and one eye ray per round (all damage is the same as yours). I do prefer his description of the 'retrieve' feature, it's a little more concise:Find Target. When ordered to find an item or a creature, the retriever does so unerringly, as though guided by a locate creature or locate object spell, with no limit on the range. The being giving the order must have seen (or have an item belonging to) the creature to be found, or have touched the object to be located.On a side note, I love the transmutation effects of the original (transmutes target to mud, stone, gold, or lead) and the added difficulty of restoring a creature who has been petrified to mud, gold, or lead. I think I'll keep that when I throw this at my group, they have a transmuter wizard with a transmuter's stone which will suffice as a philosopher's stone substitute. It will be fun watching them figure it out.</blockquote>
