Converting Epic Level Creatures

As long as the handles, etc, are metal. Need to specify that, right?

Updated.

I was thinking about adding an armor bonus, based on the idea that the corpses that make up the Battlefield Mass are all wearing armour, and the mass itself is coated with more armour (including broken shields & weapons as well as actual armour).

Should metal weapons conduct its electricity as well, like this creature?

Shock (Ex): A temperament generates so much electricity that its mere touch deals additional electricity damage. Temperaments' metallic weapons also conduct this electricity.

Sure, why not add the shocking truth.

Me likey.

Me, too. Start with +10 (or lower?), add +1 per 3 HD advanced?

That doesn't seem unreasonable, AC32 is fairly modest for a CR 18 monster.

That works for me as well. Something like this?

Integrated Armor (Ex): Most corpses a battlefield mass absorbs are armored, and as a result, bits and pieces of armor are integrated into its mass. When combined with the weapon fragments that dot its hide, this grants the battlefield undead mass a +10 armor bonus. This bonus increases by +1 for each 3 additional hit dice the mass gains.

Looks good to me.

Go ahead and put it in. And that electricity damage with metal weapons, as well.

Updated.

2 greater CR than the standard undead mass?

 

[freyar]

Sure thing. All done?
