Converting Al-Qadim creatures

[Shade]

Blood Drain (Ex): Addaazahr drain blood, dealing 1 point of Constitution damage to any living creature that begins its turn with an addazahr swarm in its space. Once a swarm has dealt 4 points of Constitution damage, it is sated and flies off to digest the meal. If its victim dies before the addazahr swarm's appetites have been sated, the swarm seeks a new target.

I think I'm OK with this. freyar?

I can wait.

It's fine, though it may be redundant.

Well shall we stick in that Blood Drain and proceed, then?

Updated.

Weren't we going to change the damage to blood drain only?

Also, should we change the blood drain to the "any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its [the swarm's] move" like is normal for swarm damage, rather than the "any living creature that begins its turn with an addazahr swarm in its space"?

e.g.

Attack/Full Attack: Swarm (blood drain plus agonizing venom)

Agonizing Venom (Ex): An addazahr's bite injects saliva that causes disease-like symptoms. Agonizing venom can be treated by effects that cure disease (such as remove poison) as well as remedies that treat poison.

Addazahr Ache: Blood drain, DC 11 Fortitude negates, initial damage agonizing pain (imposing a -4 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks and ability checks) for 1d3 minutes followed by wracking pain (inducing -2 penalty as above) for 2d6 minutes, secondary damage wracking pain (-2 penalty) for 1d3 hours followed by lingering pain (-1 penalty) for 2d6 days. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Blood Drain (Ex): Addaazahr drain blood, the swarm deals 1 points of Con damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move. Once a swarm has dealt 4 points of Constitution damage, it is sated and flies off to digest the meal. If its victim dies before the addazahr swarm's appetites have been sated, the swarm seeks a new target.

Oh, and swarms normally do d6s of damage, so if we stick to hit point damage + Con damage + poison, then shouldn't it be 1d6 damage rather than 1d4?

I did think that we were dropping the hp swarm damage, so I agree with Cleon's edits there.

That's about it for them then. We'll need to adjust the tactics - remove the "a swarm deals 1d6 points of damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move" for a start.

And they should be done after that, agreed.

 

[Cleon]

And they should be done after that, agreed.

So, it's just a question of waiting for Shade to polish them off and giving a final check to the stats.
