Advancement: x or by character class

Do we want to improve the DR or fast healing?

Bump DR to 10/cold iron and amp fast healing from 1 to 3? It didn't gain much offensively in the transition to adulthood, so let's improve its defenses.

10-18 HD (Large), 19-27 HD (Huge)? Or do we want to do anything special?

I say CR 6. That makes it easy to design encounters with them and juveniles (CR 4) and ogre magi (CR 8).

Well, the original text did have fast healing 1 for all three types, but I see the need to bump it. Also agreed on DR 10 and CR 6.

For advancement, the matriarch is going to come in at 12 HD. I could see doing one of two things, either advancing both adult and matriarch from Large to Huge or keeping the adult Large and starting the matriarch Huge. Opinions?

Wow I leave work for the night and miss out. I like the idea of fast healing 3 on the Adult and maybe 5 on the Matriarch. The DR10 and CR 6 also sound correct. I like the idea of the Matriarch being huge.

Damn, forgot about the matriarchs. I think we should keep the adults Large and make the matriarchs Huge.

How about Advancement: 10-11 HD (Large) or by character class for the adult, start the matriarch at Huge with 12 HD and add Advancement 13-18 HD (Huge) or by character class?

 

[talinthalas]

That sounds good. The Matriarch also should have Baleful Polymorph at will and Polymorph any Object 3x/day. Would we stay with DR 10/Cold Iron or go to DR15/Cold Iron?

 

[demiurge1138]

I say stick to DR 10 for the matriarch.

Polymorph any object is a tricky SLA to balance. Perhaps we should limit it to "objects only", like the leprechaun.
