Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

You mean the smell and cold skin for the diminished change shape?

Agreed to dominate for soultaking. I was thinking the same thing.

Abilities seem fine.

Borrowing from the vampire's domination ability...

Kiss (Su): A soultaker can kiss a grappled target with a successful grapple check. An affected opponent must succeed on a DC X Will save or fall instantly under the soultaker's influence as though by a dominate person spell from a xth-level caster. The save DC is Charisma-based.

CL 12 works for vampires, think that's good here?

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to CL 12th.

Updated.

Here are the great ghul's skills and feats, with the additional soultaker's in bold. Do we want to switch these up at all, or simply add to them?

Skills: Bluff +14, Concentration +11, Diplomacy +7, Disguise +12 (+14 acting), Intimidate +16, Jump +12, Move Silently +9, Spot +12, 18 more

Feats: Improved Initiative (B), Multiattack, Persuasive, 1 more

A soultaker stands 8 to 10 feet tall and weighs only around x pounds.

 

[demiurge1138]

Those class skills all sound appropriate. We might want to actually put some points into Diplomacy, though.

Quicken SLA (invisibility) for the other feat?

 

[freyar]

11 ranks in Diplomacy and more in Bluff and Disguise? Quicken SLA sounds good.

Updated.

A soultaker stands 8 to 10 feet tall and weighs only around x pounds.

CR 5? Great ghul was CR 3 at 4 less HD and lacking the dominate ability.

Anything else?

 

[demiurge1138]

CR 5 seems reasonable.

 

[Shade]

200 pounds? They're a foot taller than the great ghuls, which we set at 150 pounds.
