Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

[Shade]

Updated, and also updated great ghul entry to reflect the flavor change.

Remember, Spell Focus is +1 to the spell DC in 3.5, not +2. In addition, undead always recieve d12 HD, regardless of their class (to make up for the loss of a Con modifier).

Is that generally true for all undead? I didn't see that in the undead type (I believe your reasoning, though).

Looks pretty good. The first line of flavor should say "gifted" and not "giften."

 

[demiurge1138]

It's one of those rules-grey areas. It's actually spelled out in Libris Mortis.

Interesting. It's true...ya learn something new everyday.

Updated.

I've found a potential problem with the way we worked the great ghul...

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—invisibility (self only), shocking grasp. Caster level equals twice ghul's Hit Dice (8th for a typical great ghul). The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Since the ghul mage rolls all its HD into d12s, it would seem to indicate that it has 12 HD, which would make caster level 24th, which seems quite excessive. Perhaps we should enforce a hard cap based on normal advancement by HD?

 

[demiurge1138]

The HD cap should be based on its racial HD, not class HD.

Ahh, OK.

Updated.

We have 56 sorcerer skill ranks to spend, and then I think we're finished.

 

[demiurge1138]

Knowledge (arcana) 15 ranks, Knowledge (planes) 15 ranks, Spellcraft 15 ranks, Bluff 5 ranks, Concentration 6 ranks.

Updated.

All done?

 

[demiurge1138]

I think we're done, unless we want to equip him.
