CR 1?

LA +2?

Shan sao can eat just about any type of fruit, vegetable, and grain, but they prefer the special stew that brews continually in their communal cooking pot. The stew includes a variety of herbs, spices, fruits, and meats. It has a distinctive aroma, combining the strong odors of onions, cherries, and cinnamon. In spite of its unusual smell, it is delicious and nourishing. One ladle of the stew will fortify a human for a full day. Wealthy gourmets with a taste for exotic foods have been known to pay as much as 1,000 ch’ien for a flask of shan sao stew.

What shall we do with that?

LA +2 or +3. On one hand, humanoid HD suck. On the other hand, the ability modifiers are really good, as are the SLAs.

CR 1 is probably ok, except for the wonkiness of the CR 4 tiger. (I remember some discussion in the rules forum about a similar issue with the triton.) We may want to think about a % chance for that.

The stew sounds like great flavor text, noting that a ladle of it is equivalent to a single portion of gruel from Murlynd's "sustaining spoon."

I could see either boosting them to CR 2 or something in the 50-70% chance range.

Great idea!

 

[freyar]

Let's go with 50% if there are no objections.

 

[demiurge1138]

I'm fine with 50%.

Finished?

 

[freyar]

Looks good to me.

Mmhmm. What's next?
