[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5647880, member: 287"] Hmm... I'm wondering if the following creature from Dungeon Magazine #110 (the Dark Sun issue) isn't an actual conversion of these creatures... [B]Sandknight[/B] Small Elemental (Earth) Hit Dice: 1d8+1 (5 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares), burrow 20 ft. Armor Class: 18 (+1 size, +1 Dex, +6 natural), touch 12, flat-footed 17 Base Attack/Grapple: +0/-1 Attack: Blood obsidian greatsword +4 melee (1d10+4) Full Attack: Blood obsidian greatsword +4 melee (1d10+4) Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: - Special Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft., elemental traits Saves: Fort +3, Ref +1, Will +0 Abilities: Str 17, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 9, Wis 10, Cha 6 Skills: Listen +4 Feats: Dodge Environment: Elemental Plane of Earth Organization: Solitary or squad (2-8) Challenge Rating: 1 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: 2-3 HD (Small) Level Adjustment: - [I]Composed entirely of sand and pebbles, this humanoid-shaped creature wields a massive sword made of glittering obsidian.[/I] Sandknights are the footsoldiers of the Elemental Plane of Earth, endlessly marching across its stony plains and through its underground tunnels. They make war on anyone they have a chance of defeating, heedless of the danger. A sandknight is almost 4 feet tall and weighs about 50 pounds. Sandknights speak and understand Terran. Combat Sandknights are unsubtle fighters. They simply charge their foes and attack them with their swords. A sandknight can be summoned using a summon monster II spell. Using a Sandknight's Gear: If summoned to the Material Plane, sandknights give up their swords only if their caster improves their attitude to friendly (they start out indifferent, so it's a DC 15 Diplomacy or Intimidate check). The sword disappears when the summoning spell ends, even if the sandknight was defeated before then. [/QUOTE]
