Converting monsters from Dragon magazine (Part Two)

[demiurge1138]

The revised steal breath looks fine to me.

 

[freyar]

Same here.

How about 1d4+1 (like ghouls/ghasts) or 1d6 rounds for paralysis?

CL 5?

Uhh, 50 lb?

 

[demiurge1138]

I like d4+1

 

[Shade]

A Small water elemental is 35 pounds at 4 feet, so since these ladies are only 3 feet long, maybe 25 pounds?

Agreed with all of the rest.

[demiurge1138]

Double standard treasure. Advancement 6-15 HD (Small)?

Why is the touch +9 to hit? I'm assuming that it was assumed we'd be giving them Weapon Finesse. We should, either at the expense of Ability Focus (charm monster) or as a bonus feat.

 

[Shade]

Indeed. Let's go bonus feat.

I like maelstrom, and CR 4 sounds right.
