You appear to have given it a Magical Beast's BAB and saves but forgotten to change its type.

The Dex and Con are higher than you'd get from just advancing a Camel, but I guess that's OK for such a wonder-beast.

I'm thinking since we increased its clerical power we should give it a Wisdom boost as well - Wis 21 or so?

Oh, and its Will save doesn't add up - if its a Magical Beast with Wis 17 it should be +8 (5 from 15 HD, +3 from Wis).

 

[Shade]

Yep, I intended to make it a magical beast and screwed up the Will save.

I think the higher Wis sounds fine. Anyone opposed?

 

[demiurge1138]

Not opposed to a better Wisdom.

 

[freyar]

Nope, these ideas all sound good.

Added to Homebrews.

Camels of the pearl can blight the ventures of those who abuse their station or responsibilities, generally by teaching others to resist and to demand fair treatment. They can also create fool's gold to bribe evil creatures with or to buy them off.

Some sort of curse ability?

Borrow fool's gold SLA from the demon drake?

Added to Homebrews.

You know, since it's all clerical and all I'd fancy giving it a good Will save.

It's such a potent (and supernatural!) creature that giving it all-good saves like an Outsider or Dire Animal doesn't seem unreasonable.

Some sort of curse ability?

Would just bestow curse as a Spell-Like Ability be enough?

Or make it a supernatural Wis-based ability with the same effects as bestow curse (which should give it a higher DC)?

Borrow fool's gold SLA from the demon drake?

Yup!

 

[demiurge1138]

We could just give it bestow curse as one of its spells per day. I do like fool's gold.

 

[freyar]

That's all good, including if we want to go to a good Will save.

Isn't fool's gold from the asperim, not the demon drake?

 

[Shade]

You're right, it was the asperim.
