Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

Good suggestion on the treasure.

CAdvancement by hit dice seems wrong, I don't see them as growing to 7'+ Large sized creatures. Advancement by class makes more sense to me.

If so, what favoured class should they have?

Most outsiders advance by Hit Dice. It seems no stranger for them to improve by Hit Dice than many of the angels.

I'm OK with keeping them Medium, though, and adding "or by character class" to the progression.

The only core classes that seem marginally suitable are bard and wizard. The loremaster prestige class makes the most sense.

It's them becoming Large that seems wrong to me. I'm fine with them advancing by Outsider levels if they stay the same size, preferably with "or character class". Maybe have them advance like Erinyes and Succubi, which go to twice their original HD while remaining Medium?

I approve of keeping them Medium.

Updated.

Organization: Solitary or x (2-8)

Thendar stand 6 to 6-1/2 feet tall and weigh around x pounds.

Thendar speak Celestial and x, though they can speak with almost any creature because of their tongues ability. (they are intelligent enough to possess several languages)

 

[Leopold]

Thendar natively speak Celestial . With their tongues ability they are able to speak to any creature that has a verbal form of communication.

Solitary or Troop (2-8)

 

[Shade]

I'm not sure about "troop", since they aren't very militaristic. Can you think of a good term for a group of wandering knowledge-seekers? I toyed with "enclave", but that seems more appropriate for a cloistered group of lore-seekers.

Band? Troupe? Group? Brotherhood? Choir?

A drift of thendars?

A school? Or is that too obvious? Class? Lecture?

I really like how these have shaped up in my absence. Let's also give them Common and perhaps an elemental language or two (I'm not sure which suits it best, though).

An inquiry of thendars.
