Converting Epic Level Creatures

[freyar]

Not the taboos, since this guy essentially went against his own deity. The rest, though, look good. I'm not sure what element I'd pick, so we could possibly drop Elemental Mastery if he's getting too cumbersome.

 

[Shade]

He's about the opposite of cumbersome at this point, so pile on!

 

[freyar]

Ok, based on his spells, what element would you pick? I'm not seeing anything obvious.

 

[Shade]

Possibly fire. But since he's been "studying" for so long, how about this?

Elemental Mastery (Ex): The Opawang has studied magic for countless years, and as a result has learned to master all five elemental groups (earth, fire, metal, water, and wood). As a result, whenever the Opawang casts a spell of one of those elements, his effective caster level (for purposes of determining level-dependent spell variables and for caster level checks) is increased by two. In addition, the Opawang gets a +2 competence bonus on saving throws against spells of those elements. This bonus also pertains to spells on the wu jen spell list designated "All".

 

[freyar]

Why not indeed? Good idea! How's he looking?

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Bonus Feat: A wu jen begins play with a bonus metamagic feat.

Maximize spell?

Spell Secret: At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, a wu jen can choose one spell known to her that then becomes permanently modified as though affected by one of the following metamagic feats: Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Still Spell, or Silent Spell. The spell's level does not change, and once the choice of spell and modification are chosen, they cannot be changed. As the wu jen goes up in level, she can choose the same spell to be modified in different ways with multiple spell secrets. She does not need to know the feat she applies to the spell.

So, he gets six spell secrets. How about...

Extended shield or shield of faith?
Extended righteous might/giant size?
Extended air walk/elemental ward?
Stilled, silent dispel magic?
Silent slay living?

 

[freyar]

All that sounds good.

Do we need to decide on shield or shield of faith everywhere? Or are we making a hybrid arcane/divine spell?

 

[Shade]

We need to pick one or the other. I'm leaning toward shield of faith, since it scales.

 

[freyar]

That makes sense to me. Shield of faith it is.

He's starting to look good. Apparently he eats the captured spirits (or absorbs them somehow) that the Ochimo bring him in order to extend his life. Ability or just flavor?

 

[Shade]

Hmm...

The ochimo writeups note "Otherwise, the captured spirit cannot be raised or resurrected, but a break enchantment cast on the ochimo (and which penetrates the ochimo's SR), limited wish, miracle, or wish spell frees it, as does destroying the ochimo. A freed spirit is instantly returned to life in the precise condition it had when captured."

We might need to indicate how a soul can be brought back once it is transferred to (and devoured by) the Opawang.
