Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6350279" data-attributes="member: 57383">And it's tomorrow!Updating the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?301485-Converting-Al-Qadim-creatures&p=6073425&viewfull=1#post6073425" target="_blank">Bird Maiden Working Draft</a>.Checking through it, I can see a few tweaks.Firstly, we've got a fair few incidents of "it" that I'm changing to feminine pronouns for the sake of consistency, as follows:Size and Type: The bird maiden's type remains unchanged but <s>it</s> she gains the Shapechanger subtype. A bird maiden has the same size as the  base creature when in humanoid form, but <s>it</s> she may be  smaller or larger when in bird form (see Bird Shape). Attack: Same as base creature in humanoid form. In bird form, a  bird maiden loses <s>its</s> the base creature's attacks and gains claw and bite  attacks (see Bird Shape). Special Attacks: *** When in bird form, a bird maiden  loses any extraordinary special attacks of <s>its</s> her original form not derived  from class levels, but retains the spell-like abilities and  supernatural attacks of <s>its</s> the base creature <s>form</s> (except for breath  weapons and gaze attacks). Feathered Garment ***  It takes a different magical effect, such  as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection, to restore <s>it</s> her to  life, which also recreates the maiden's feather garment. Abilties: A bird maiden will have further modifiers to <s>its</s> her ability scores when in bird form (see Bird Shape).Secondly, the Skills section is poorly worded. I intended the skill bonuses to only apply when the Maiden is in bird form, but the wording suggests it's continuous.Therefore I changed this:Skills: A bird maiden with the bird form of a nocturnal  (night-dwelling) bird has a +4 racial bonus to Listen checks. One with a  diurnal (day-dwelling) bird form has a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks  and a +4 racial bonus on Search checks.to this:Skills: A bird maiden in the bird form of a diurnal (day-dwelling) bird gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks  and a +4 racial bonus on Search checks. One in a nocturnal (night-dwelling) bird form gains a +4 racial bonus to Listen checks.EDIT: I also added a Skills line to the sample creature's bird forms with the skill changes listed.</blockquote>
