Converting Epic Level Beings

[Shade]

Looking him over again, I think CR 21 is just fine. The tarrasque is on the high-end of CR 20, anyway, whom we originally used as our benchmark.

He's looking good. Here's some suggestions for filling in the X's.

Blindsight 240 ft
damage reduction 10/epic
fast healing 20

Spell resistance: His MR was rather low previously, so perhaps only 27 (CR + 6)?

Skills: Cerberus has a +8 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks.

*Cerberus has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

For vision, should be also give him keen senses like dragons to help make him the ultimate watchdog?

 

[BOZ]

yikes, but wouldn't blindsight and keen senses be overkill?

 

[Shade]

Not necessarily. Dragons have both blindsense and keen senses. Keen senses would mainly help him see much further in conditions of normal light and shadowy illumination, usually much further than his blindsight would allow.

 

[BOZ]

well, OK i guess, you want that then?

 

[Shade]

Yeah. Let's make him the super-sentry he strives to be.

 

[BOZ]

updating!

Init should be +11 due to Superior Initiative.

Double-checking Skills:
Balance +43 (38 +3 Dex +2 Tumble), Bluff +35 (30 +5 Cha), Climb +33 (20 +13 Str), Diplomacy +39 (30 +5 Cha +2 Bluff +2 Sense Motive), Hide +43 (48 -8 size +3 Dex), Intimidate +55 (48 +5 Cha +2 Bluff), Jump +55 (28 +13 Str +12 speed +2 Jump), Knowledge (arcana) +55 (48 +7 Int), Knowledge (religion) +55 (48 +7 Int), Knowledge (the planes) +55 (48 +7 Int), Listen +66 (48 +8 Wis +10 Epic Skill Focus), Move Silently +41 (38 +3 Dex), Search +55 (48 +7 Int), Sense Motive +64 (48 +8 Wis +8 racial), Spot +66 (48 +8 Wis +10 Epic Skill Focus), Survival +36* (+38 following tracks, +38 on other planes) (28 +8 Wis +2 other planes from Know the planes +2 tracking from Search), Swim +41 (38 +13 Str), Tumble +43 (38 +3 Dex +2 Jump)

Rend damage = 6d6+19 (A rend attack deals damage equal to the creature's natural attack [in this case two bites] + 1.5 times its Str modifier)

Trip modifier = +21 (+8 size +13 Str)

 

[BOZ]

duh, forgot the synergy bonuses...

does he get some sort of bonus to Trip for being a quadruped?

 

[Shade]

He'd get a +4 when defending against a trip, but not for initiating it.
