Converting Maztica and Horde monsters

[Krishnath]

Definetly a fey, thus it should have 5d6 HD. Shapechanger subtype fits as well.

30% SR is the same as Sr equal to CR+6.

Str 10, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 13, Wis 12, Cha 15?

Here are some attempts at the chac's abilities:

Gaseous Form (Su): Four times per day, as a standard action, a chac can assume gaseous form as the spell (caster level Xth), but it has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect maneuverability. When in this form, the mist is tinted the same color as the chac's eyes.

Control Rain (Sp): Once per week, a chac can use control weather as the spell (caster level Xth), except that it can only create rain effects.

Spells: Chacs can cast divine spells as 5th-level clerics. A chac has access to the following domains: Air and Water. The save DCs are Wisdom-based.

Typical Cleric Spells Prepared (5/3+1/23+1/13+1; save DC X + spell level): 0--?; 1st--?; 2nd--?; 3rd--?.
*Domain spell. Domains: Air and Water.

that would actually make it lower than 17 then wouldn't it?

Not sure how you got your attack bonuses, but I thought about it and realized that weapon finesse is an almost necessary feat for the chac.

Sorry about not getting to all of these monsters I started yet… wasn’t expecting to be very busy, but I got really busy really quickly anyway.

Yes.

Don't worry about it.

+2 BAB from monster HD, +2 from DX. The oops is I include the bonus from Weapon Finesse it appears

 

[BOZ]

not a problem, i saw where you were coming from.

-- Instead of simply giving them all Cleric 5 spells, why not simply say the average Chac is a level 5 Cleric? That matches the HD total and significantly simplifies their level adjustment (as then they just have their turn to gas and possibly rain abilities).

 

[Krishnath]

Because, even if all Chac can cast spells as a cleric, not all chac advance as such. I think it would be best to write it as:

spells: Chac cast spells as 5th level clerics with access to the ? and ? domains.

The best domains to choose would be Air and Law IMHO.
