Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

[Leopold]

Yes there is and it's from the Forgotten Realms:
Spirit Subtype*

Spirit creatures include some fey and elementals (nature spirits), outsiders (celestial spirits), undead (ghosts and ancestors), and even dragons. Spirit creatures are nor necessarily incorporeal, despite their name - in the worlds of Oriental Adventures, some spirits are as much flesh and bone as humans are. The only game effect of the spirit type modifier is that spirit creatures are all affected by spells such as commune with greater spirit, invisibility to spirits, and protection from spirits.

This might be appropriate here. What do you think?

 

[Shade]

Sure, we can put it in the "underbar" as we usually do with OA creatures of the Spirit World.

Let's figure out ability scores:

Int is Very (11-12).

Some other 10 HD outsiders..

Osyluth: Str 21, Dex 21, Con 21, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 14
Vrock: Str 23, Dex 15, Con 25, Int 14, Wis 16, Cha 16
Monadic Deva: Str 20, Dex 16, Con 20, Int 17, Wis 17, Cha 19

How about...

Str 21, Dex 17, Con 23, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 14?

We could mix up the physical scores a bit based on type, similar to elementals (Air and Fire ochimo might be more dextrous, for example).

Abilities look good. And mixing them up sounds reasonable, too.

 

[Shade]

Added Earth ochimo to Homebrews.

 

[freyar]

Spirit capture or special item first?

 

[Shade]

Spirit capture, methinks, since it will be more standardized across the different ochimos.

Oops. Replied to wrong thread.

Borrowing from the devourer (oddly, the SRD devourer doesn't list which kind of save!):

Spirit Capture (Su): An ochimo may make a spirit capture attack as a standard action by making a ranged touch attack as a standard action (range X, no range increment). If the attack hits, the victim takes no damage but must make a DC X Fortitude (?) save or be spirit captured. The save DC is Charisma-based.

A captured victim is instantly transformed into its incorporeal essence, which is absorbed by the ochimo. An ochimo may hold up to 10HD? of spirits; its spirit capture attack automatically fails against creatures that would exceed that limit. The Opawang may remove spirits from an ochimo. Otherwise, the captured spirit cannot be raised or resurrected, but a limited wish, miracle, or wish spell frees it, as does destroying the ochimo.

The original is a short range gaze attack. You want to go with that instead?
