Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

[freyar]

Ok, so then let's add (objects only) to polymorph any object if Shade agrees. Then I think that the matriarch only needs one more feat. Could go with Deceitful, but again that's probably suboptimal. Combat Casting, Power Attack, or Weapon Focus (bite)?

 

[demiurge1138]

Oh! We should give the matriarch ranks in Concentration, as opposed to just increasing all skills by 3. Maybe slide 1 point out of all her previous class skills into Concentration?

As for feat, Power Attack seems reasonable, as does Skill Focus (Concentration).

 

[freyar]

That would definitely be a smart thing to do. I'm inclined to go with SF (Concentration) or else Combat Casting for the last feat. Either would boost concentration pretty well.

Why are we increasing the Matriarchs Concentration Skill? I am sure there is a really good reason, but it is too early for me to figure it out.

If it's injured (or fighting defensively, etc) while trying to use a spell-like ability, it needs to make a Concentration check or lose its use of that SLA. We might want to add Concentration to the adult as well, while we're at it.

Edit: In fact, let's change Knowledge (any two) to Knowledge (any one), Concentration in the adult and then just bump all ranks by 3 for the matriarch.

 

[talinthalas]

Oh ok then yea we should add ranks of Concentration.

 

[Shade]

Updated the skills.

For the feat, Combat Casting, Power Attack or Skill Focus (Concentration)?

 

[freyar]

I think this one is enough of a melee threat that Power Attack makes sense. My second choice is Combat Casting 'cause she's big enough to grapple a lot.

 

[Shade]

I agree with all that you've said. Did we want to restrict polymorph any object as demiurge mentioned?

I forgot to respond to this earlier, but yes, I agree.

Updated.
