Converting Al-Qadim creatures

Those darn exception based mechanics!

Just to make a decision, let's just keep the climb speed.

Now that you changed the mechanics, we can go back to calling it "agonizing venom"!

Updated.

Heh. All done?

Works for me!

They look almost done.

I'd like to change the "Addazahr are omnivorous, feeding on blood for reproduction" to "Addazahr are omnivorous, but need to feed on blood for reproduction".

While we're on that subject, perhaps we should add a very weak Blood Drain special attack (something like 1 Con per round or even 1 Con per minute), with a note that they normally only drain a few points of Con - just enough to nourish their eggs?

 

[Shade]

I'm not opposed to adding a weak blood drain. Any objections, freyar?

 

[freyar]

Just add 1 Con to the swarm damage? I could almost see doing 1 Con instead of the 1d4 hp swarm damage. How about that? swarm (1 Con plus agonizing venom)

I like!

Works for me, but I'd add a rider that they usually only attack for a few rounds before their bloodlust is sated.

Just put that in tactics, right?

I'd rather include it in a Blood Drain SA, like how a Stirge is sated after draining 4 Con:

Blood Drain (Ex): A stirge drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage in any round when it begins its turn attached to a victim. Once it has dealt 4 points of Constitution damage, it detaches and flies off to digest the meal. If its victim dies before the stirge’s appetite has been sated, the stirge detaches and seeks a new target.
...

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.
