Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

Updated.

Thorn damage?

Should we add note that the slam attacks deal half bludgeoning/half piercing due to the thorns?

 

[demiurge1138]

1d6 plus Str for the thorny defense? It's less than the 1d8 of the smaller barbed devil, but the devil is rather a higher CR.

 

[freyar]

All that sounds right, including half-piercing on the slams.

Let's drop the native subtype, I think, unless called and bound critters are native.

Let's drop the native subtype, I think, unless called and bound critters are native.

If not native, then it's extraplanar by default. Suggested home plane? The Elemental Plane of Wood works, of course, but it is from an optional cosmology. Maybe Elemental Plane of Earth, or even the Beastlands?

 

[freyar]

Beastlands feels kind of right. We could have a sidebar listing options, including Elemental Wood or making them native.

 

[demiurge1138]

Beastlands sounds good to me too.

Updated.

Skills: 11
Listen and Spot?

Feats: 3
Power Attack?

 

[demiurge1138]

Power Attack, Lightning Reflexes and Improved Initiative all seem right. That Dex 8 is harsh, especially in conjunction with fire vulnerability.

 

[Shade]

I'm fine with boosting Dex. Suggested amount?

 

[demiurge1138]

Just to 10 or 12 would suit me.
