Interresting... Nice conversion erica.

...and I was just looking at my 1e Fiend Folio and thinking about this one...

 

[DnDChick]

Enjoy! If you use it in a game, let me know how it went. Feedback is always a good thing.

I think the CR for this monster is too low. I don't think a 2nd level party could even hurt it. A 2nd level party wou hardpressed to own even a single +1 weapon required to hit an incorporeal creature, and the SR effectively makes it immune to spells until higher levels. The touch psyche attack and possession are particularly powerful abilities as well. You might want to give it the Mindless SQ too. Otherwise a quite unique monster and good conversion.

 

[DnDChick]

Good points. Would you suggest bumping the CR to say, 3 or maybe even 4?

 

[Psychotic Jim]

Yeah, about 4 sounds good. By then a party should have at least one +1 weapon, and spells have a somewhat more significant chance of beating that strong SR. One of the hard things about rating low hp but hard to injure monsters is that one hit will kill them if they can be damaged.
