Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[Shade]

Excellent suggestion!

Updated.

Do we need a "bound to surrogate" ability, or will flavor text suffice?

 

[freyar]

Agreed to that use for keening.

I think flavor is ok for the surrogate. It's more that they just refuse to leave the surrogate alone rather than being bound to them. And I think the text in rejuvenation is sufficient for getting rid of them.

I agree that the surrogate shouldn't have much mechanical benefit.

Skills: 4 at 9 ranks

Feats: 3

Hide, Listen, Spot, Search?

You know, before we get to the feats, 2 things:
1) Do we need to spell out improved grab as usual (keyed to incorporeal touch)?
2) Shouldn't these have some kind of telekinesis or mage hand ability to do things for their surrogate?

 

[Shade]

1) Probably
2) Good idea. Borrow from the ghost again?

Telekinesis (Su): A ghost can use telekinesis as a standard action (caster level 12th or equal to the ghost’s HD, whichever is higher). When a ghost uses this power, it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.

 

[freyar]

Ghost telekinesis seems appropriate here, yes.

Ability focus (keen of despair), Stealthy, Alertness?

Everything else looks good, so should we work on flavor now?

 

[Shade]

How about Skill Focus (Search) rather than Stealthy, since it gains no benefit from Move Silently (as its always silent), and it probably needs Search to help it be a better stalker?

 

[freyar]

That's a better idea, agreed!

Updated.

I haven't finished the flavor text yet.
