Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

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.

Given that the matriarch already has baleful polymorph at will, that might be fair. Anyone else have an opinion?

Updated.

An adult silat stands 12 to 15 feet tall and weighs x pounds.

Caster level 9 for SLAs?

Did we decide on ability scores for the matriarch?

 

[demiurge1138]

Caster level 9 sounds good.

So, if we advance an adult silat to Huge, we get
Str 27, Dex 8, Con 21, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 19.

Those physical scores look right to me, but I could see increasing all of the mental ones by another +2 to +4. Thoughts?

 

[Shade]

Yeah, I agree with the increased ability scores. I think the larger than usual Int range for the Adult/Matriarch entry was designed to account for that.

500 lb? CL 9 works for me.

We don't have ability scores yet. The original text didn't do much for matriarchs over adults, but we're having them advance to Huge size, so maybe we should have the corresponding physical stat increase. Also, we took the lowish side of Int for the adult (14), so maybe we should bump Int to 16 and give a corresponding bump to Wis & Cha. So, how about Str 27, Dex 8, Con 21, Int 16, Wis 14, Cha 23? I increased Cha a little more for the boost to the baleful polymorph DC. I could see dropping Cha to 21 and also not raising Str quite as much if you want.

 

[Shade]

Added.

If my math is correct, it gets 24 additional skill ranks.

Since it's Huge, should we allow it to assume the form of Huge creatures with its Change shape ability?

Stick with caster level equal to HD?

 

[talinthalas]

I would say allow the the Huge Change Shape. Caster level stays equal to HD. The easiest would be to increase each skill by 3 and add the new modifiers.

 

[freyar]

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

 

[talinthalas]

I would think so that seems like a good way to handle polymorph any object in this case.

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to ability scores, including high Cha, as well as skills and CL.
