Converting Forgotten Realms monsters

Since the description doesn't mention them being aggressive, I'm find with just making the spines purely a reflexive SA.

Yes, I'd prefer that. So make the attacks - and write SA of spines

Spines (Ex): When startled or attacked, three spines on the rabbit's stomach become erect. Any creature holding (grappling) a spiny rabbit or otherwise in contact with its stomach at that time must make a DC X Reflex save or take 1 hp damage and be exposed to the rabbit's poison.

That'd be OK by me.

Oh, we need to say what the Ref save is based on! Con-based?

Dex-based would be my preference.

 

[Shade]

Dex-based appeals, since it's a matter of reflexes more than anything else.

Thus?

Spines (Ex): When startled or attacked, three spines on the rabbit's stomach become erect. Any creature grappling a spiny rabbit at such times (or otherwise in contact with its stomach) must make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 1 hp damage and be exposed to the rabbit's poison. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

 

[Shade]

I'd just simplify it to " Any creature grappling a spiny rabbit or otherwise in contact with it".

Then


Spines (Ex): When a spiny rabbit is startled or attacked, three spines on the rabbit's stomach become erect. Any creature grappling a spiny rabbit or otherwise in contact with it at that time must make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 1 hp damage and be exposed to the rabbit's poison. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

Spines (Ex): When a spiny rabbit is startled or attacked, three spines on the rabbit's stomach become erect. Any creature grappling a spiny rabbit or otherwise in contact with it at that time must make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 1 hp damage and be exposed to the rabbit's poison. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

That's OK, but it could do with a bit more punctuation...

Spines (Ex): When a spiny rabbit is startled or attacked, three spines on the rabbit's stomach become erect. Any creature grappling the spiny rabbit, or otherwise in contact with it at that time, must make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 1 hp damage and be exposed to the rabbit's poison.
