Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[Shade]

Hm. Since goblin vampires have the terrifying gaze, and two out of three goblinoids have a racial penalty to Charisma, I'd be willing to either boost their Charisma or give them Ability Focus (terrifying gaze) as a bonus feat.

I'd favor a Cha boost, since 1.) it's common among undead templates, and 2.) I'd like to leave Ability Focus as an option for rat-bastard DMs to boost the saves even higher.

Cha +4?

 

[demiurge1138]

I approve of Cha +4.

Updated.

Skills: 18 bugbear skills plus 18 rogue skills (+4 racial bonus on Move Silently)
Bugbear skills: Hide 6, Listen 3, Move Silently 6, Spot 3?
Rogue skills: Intimidate 5, Listen 4, Spot 4, Tumble 5?

Feats: 2
Dodge, Improved Initiative?

That all sounds great to me.

 

[demiurge1138]

I was thinking Combat Reflexes and Improved Initiative for the feats, so it gets more AoOs on fleeing victims.

Updated.

I completely forgot the size increase! That has now been corrected.

Hmmm...I'm thinking Dex +2 to offset the size decreases is approrpriate, since goblinoids are traditionally dextrous and often rogue-oriented. Also, I think we should add Multiattack as a bonus feat provided by the template, to increase the use of the bite. Thoughts?

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to both.

 

[freyar]

Same here. Pretty much done after that?

 

[Shade]

Updated. Yeah, I think we're done.

 

[demiurge1138]

Looks like it to me.
