Converting monsters from Dragon magazine (Part Two)

[freyar]

I like those. Perhaps we should just put in an ability that adaros are immune to swarm damage and therefore distraction of all aquatic swarms.

 

[Shade]

Excellent suggestion.

How's this?

Swarmfriend (Ex): An adaro never suffers deleterious effects when sharing its space with an aquatic swarm.

 

[freyar]

Works for me!

Updated.

Damage reduction 10/cold iron?

Skills: 9 at 18 ranks

Feats: 6

Environment: Warm aquatic?

Organization: Solitary or school (adaro plus 1-4 flying fish swarms)?

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to DR, alignment. Feats...

Skill Focus (concentration), Weapon Finesse, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Quick Draw. Make the fish darts iterative with Quick Draw.

Skills: Concentration, Hide, Knowledge (arcana, nature), Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Swim, Tumble

 

[freyar]

Agreed to all that.

To go with rainbow walking, should these have some sort of air breathing ability? After all, they can be out of the water for a long time while rainbow walking. Also, should we clarify whether they can rainbow walk while it is raining?

Updated.

I pilfered 8 ranks from Swim (the same amount as the bonus for having a swim speed) and put them into Spellcraft, since it is a spellcaster.

An excellent point! Make 'em amphibious, borrow water-dependent from sahuagin, or give them an air-breathing unique SLA?

Suggested range and range increments for fish darts?

 

[freyar]

Let's go with water-dependent, I think.

How about 30 ft, the usual 10 range increments?

Updated.

Suggested damage for nose-saw and fish darts?

An adaro stands x feet tall and weighs x pounds.

Adaro speak Aquan, Common, and Sylvan?

Also, thoughts on using rainbow walk in the rain?

 

[demiurge1138]

2d4 for nose saw, 1d6 for fish darts?
