[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6790735, member: 57383"] That's odd. I thought I'd corrected that (Ps) error months ago. And yes, it should have an At-will in it. Updating [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6662081#post6662081"]Monarch Scorpion Working Draft[/URL][/B]. ...upon reflection, I think I corrected the Monarch Scorpion's PLA/SLAs but didn't fully correct the Master version. Hmm... that's an awful lot of At-Wills. We've got 10 of them to two 3/days and a single 1/day. I think we'd better move at least some of the At-Wills to 3/day to spread the fun about. Let's sort them out by level: [B]1st:[/B] [I]create sound[/I] [B]2nd:[/B] [I]read thoughts[/I] [B]3rd:[/B] [I]claws of the vampire[/I], [I]ectoplasmic form[/I], [I]telekinetic force[/I], [I]telekinetic thrust[/I] [B]4th:[/B] [I]control body[/I], [I]immovability[/I], [I]inertial barrier[/I], [I]psionic dominate[/I], [I]telekinetic maneuver[/I] [B] 5th:[/B] [I]adapt body[/I] [B]6th:[/B] [I]suspend life[/I] Hmm... how about if we make [I]adapt body[/I], [I]ectoplasmic form[/I], [I]immovability[/I] and [I]psionic dominate[/I] 3/day? I'd also considered moving the three telekinetic disciplines to 3/day and shifting [I]ectoplasmic form[/I] to At-Will. Mainly because the SLA equivalent [I]telekinesis[/I] is two levels higher than [I]gaseous form[/I], but at-will telekinesis seemed more appropriate for this beastie. Well ideally we need a 5th-level spell that does something more-or-less-similar since [I]adapt body[/I] is a 5th-level power. Unfortunately, there is no such ability in the SRD and[I]resist energy[/I] is only 2nd level versus the 5th level of [I]adapt body[/I]. Maybe make up the difference with metamagic? Hmm... I suppose quickened [I]resist energy[/I] would be a pretty close match out of what's available. That's allow the SLA version of the Master Scorpion to "instantly" switch to a particular form of environmental damage. However, [I]adapt body[/I] does not include energy resistance as such, it just reduces the damage from the environment - so arguably it provides no protection from a [I]fireball[/I]. It's more like an extra-strong version of [I]endure elements[/I] plus [I]water breathing[/I]. Maybe we should give it this as a special SLA of some sort rather than try to fit a square peg into a round hole? [/QUOTE]
