Converting Epic Level Creatures

[Shade]

I like the magic and cold iron DR. Let's go right in the middle of your suggested range for fast healing.

Updated.

Sneak attack as a rogue of a level equal to its HD (thus, +14d6)?

Suggested natural armor?

For the pain rend, have it work like symbol of pain (wracking pains that impose a –4 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks for 1 hour )?

I can agree with frightful presence, DR, fast healing. Let's wait to see if there's any must-have fighter-only feat; there might be some in later source books that require fighter levels that aren't tied to specific weapons.

The sneak attack and pain rend sound right. What AC do these need? Another +7 to +10 natural?

 

[demiurge1138]

With so damn many attacks, I think we should reduce the sneak attack a bit. Say, to a mere 9 or 10d6.

 

[freyar]

Hmm, I guess I can see that.

 

[Shade]

That'll work. Let's say "as a 20th-level rogue", which will give it +10d6.

Suggestions for weapons other than Black Adder? Maybe other weapons named after serpents or British TV Shows?

 

[freyar]

British TV shows for $200! But methinks we'll need to be subtle.

 

[Shade]

If we go down that road, some good candidates (and suggested names) are...

Doctor Who ("enigmatic scalpel")
Torchwood ("flamestaff", "burnroot", "searcudgel")
Red Dwarf ("dwarfbleeder")
The Avengers ("avenger")

And my personal favorite British show, Primeval.

 

[demiurge1138]

I like Avenger and Doctor for weapon names (why Doctor? Because it ends suffering.)

 

[freyar]

I like Avenger, but Doctor might be too corny for the frightful presence to work any more. But we can surely come up with something for our friendly timelord.

"Timelord" could work, perhaps a weapon that strikes out of turn, or has the potential to throw its victims out of the time stream for a few rounds?
