Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[Shade]

I'm guessing very carefully.

I suppose you'd have to grapple one, while someone else did the patching. It definitely doesn't sound worth the effort.

I think the original text implies that they only attack once they've been attacked, actually. Though I like the image of the caretaker guy wrestling 7-ft wide basketballs around while slapping mortar on them. That brings up a question, though: what happens if you grapple something with a touch attack like these or a will-o-wisp? Do you take auto-damage from them? That sounds very old-school.

It actually sounds like the damaged ones would attack. Like, bodies that the shellac had cracked or peeled off of.

 

[freyar]

Right, but only once attacked? But they're passive when undamaged. So I get the picture that a damaged one would attack when provoked and that attack an undamaged one could crack it, wake it up, and provoke it all at once. Sound right?

 

[demiurge1138]

Sounds right to me.

Are we talking flavor text here, or an ability?

 

[freyar]

Well, combat tactics, I guess. Since these are mindless, we really need to include their strategy anyway.

Updated.

CR 2?

Treasure: Double standard? (Like beholders, assuming they are interred with their wealth)

Advancement: None?

 

[freyar]

Yes, yes, yes, then it's done.

 

[demiurge1138]

Yeah, this one was pretty simple mechanics-wise. Call it done.
