Converting "generic setting" second edition monsters

We should boost their Con a bit, then, if we're going to be lowering their Dex and Cha so much. Give 'em something, at least.

 

[Shade]

That's cool, or we can make less drastic reductions in Dex and Cha. I'm open to suggestions.

 

[freyar]

Why not a little more of all 3?

 

[Shade]

Sure. They don't have a whole lot more going for them.

Str 12, Dex 13, Con 13, Int 9, Wis 11, Cha 15?

 

[demiurge1138]

Those ability scores look a sight better. What else have they got? Climb speed, swim speed...

 

[Shade]

They've also got SR and this...

Special Att/Def: Gahongas can become invisible at will. Anyone hit by a gahonga in combat must save versus paralysis or be rendered motionless for 1d6 rounds. A gahonga can pass through rock at will while moving at its normal movement rate.

I'm thinking stunning strike rather than actual paralysis.

Earth glide?

Invisibility as at-will SLA?

 

[demiurge1138]

Mm. Stunning strike I like. Agreed that stun is better than paralysis. Do we want to give it to them on every hit? Or do we want to give them Stunning Fist as a bonus feat and say they can use it once per day per HD like a monk can?

 

[freyar]

Every hit if it's only for 1 round like the feat.

Earth glide and at-will invisibility also agree.

 

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews.

Suggested climb speed?

Does this look OK?

Stunning Strike (Ex): Any creature hit by a gahonga's melee attacks must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d6 rounds. The save DC is Strength-based.

 

[freyar]

I think I like 1d4 rounds better, but it looks good.

Climb 30 ft?
DR 5?
