Converting Epic Level Beings

That would be fine.

This sentence should be altered or removed from his combat description: "If he notices a spellcaster preparing a spell to use against him, he will often hold back his actions to see if he can try to catch the spell." He doesn't need to hold back his actions, as he doesn't lose his slam attacks until his next action.

Rock Throwing (Ex): The range increment is 200 feet for Enceladus’s thrown rocks. He uses both hands when throwing a rock. Enceladus can hurl rocks of X to X pounds (Huge objects).

300 to 500 pounds?

Rock Catching (Ex): Enceladus can catch Small, Medium, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). Once per round, when Enceladus would normally be hit by a rock he can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium one, and 25 for a Large one. (If the projectile provides a magical bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that amount.) Enceladus must be ready for and aware of the attack in order to make a rock catching attempt.

I'd allow him to catch Huge rocks as well...maybe DC 30?

Question: should he be able to catch spell-like abilities as well as spells? or would the different way that they work be too much trouble?

Yeah, good idea! The effects of spell-likes are generally identical spells...its the way they are "cast" that differs (essentially, no components necessary and shorter casting times in some instances).

That text for Rock Catching came straight from the MM - there doesn't appear to be any scaling allowed. Of course, we can always rewrite things to suit our needs, especially when dealing with epic creatures.

 

[Shade]

Yeah, let's scale it. The only official giant bigger than Huge is the mountain giant, and they failed to account for his largeness.

 

[BOZ]

good deal. updating in homebrews...

Weight 150 tons? (Tarrasque weighs 130 at 70 feet long)

Otherwise, I think he's finished.

 

[BOZ]

i think Combat Reflexes might not be as appropriate a feat as i once thought in my younger days.

 

[Shade]

I'd replace it with Epic Reflexes (+4 Ref save) or Epic Toughness (+30 hp).

 

[BOZ]

sounds good. updating again.

 

[Shade]

Looks good.
