[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5304429, member: 287"] Since we're working on lammasu-like creatures, we might as well tackle this one too... [B]Lammasu[/B] Lesser Greater CLIMATE/TERRAIN: ---Warm, with visits to other climes--- FREQUENCY: Rare Very rare ORGANIZATION: Pride Solitary (Pride) ACTIVITY CYCLE: Day Day DIET: Herbivore Herbivore INTELLIGENCE: Genius (17-18) Supra-genius (19-20) TREASURE: R, S, T Nil ALIGNMENT: Lawful good Lawful good NO. APPEARING: 2-8 1-2 ARMOR CLASS: 6 3 MOVEMENT: 12, Fl 24 (C) 15, Fl 30 (B) HIT DICE: 7+7 12+7 THAC0: 13 7 NO. OF ATTACKS: 2 2 DAMAGE/ATTACK: 1-6/1-6 2-12/2-12 SPECIAL ATTACKS: See below See below SPECIAL DEFENSES: See below See below MAGIC RESISTANCE: 30% 40% SIZE: L L (5' high at shoulder) MORALE: Elite (14) Champion (16) XP VALUE: 4,000 8,000 [B]Greater Lammasu[/B] These creatures are slightly larger than a lesser lammasu and one or two may be found dwelling with a pride of six or more lesser lammasu. Greater lammasu can travel the Astral and Ethereal Planes, become invisible, teleport without error and dimension door, all at will. They radiate protection from evil in a 20' radius (-4 penalty to evil attacks and +4 bonus to saving throws) and have the curative powers of their lesser cousins. Their priest spells consist of five 1st-level, four 2nd-level, three 3rd-level, two 4th-level, and one 5th-level spell. Fifty percent of greater lammasu can speak a holy word as well. They cast spells as 12th-level priests. Greater lammasu have empathy, telepathic communication, and speak their racial speech and the common tongue. Despite their greater stature, these lammasu are just as gentle and humble as their lesser brethren. Originally appeared in Monster Manual II (1983). This is the Monstrous Manual version. The MMII version had one additional power: “The cures of the greater lammasu are double strength and based on 1d6+1, so that a cure light wounds will cure 4-14 lsot hit points and a cure serious wounds has double effect (8-28).” I intentionally left the standard lammasu stats in the above stat block for ease of comparison.
