Why would glass give you less NA than sand? Sand is chemically just tiny little bits of glass!

It came out like that because glass is hardness 1 according to the SRD.

It didn't seem right making a sand-body a lot more fragile than a body formed from earth.
 


There's something weird about this thread, I can't get my internet browser to display page 31.

Anyhow, I don't mind dropping Glass, but I think we'd better put something else in the +1 NA slot to replace it. Maybe promote the "leaves"?

Something like:

+0 NA Snow/Dust
+1 NA Leaves/Grass
+2 NA Wood
+3 NA Sand/Earth/Soil
+4 NA Stone
+5 NA Metal
 


I like it!

I still can't get this thread to display page 31 in Linear Display mode.

I've got to switch to Threaded Display to see posts 601+, which is pretty annoying. Any idea why it's doing it?

Getting back to the conversion, shall we plug that NA table into a SQ then?
 


Is it only happening to me, or is it screwing other people's pagination too?

We could always start a new thread once this creature is done, if necessary.

Might as well start roughing out a SQ then,. How's this for a start:

Environmental Body (Ex): A windigo can form a physical body for itself out of leaves, dirt, rocks or any other small loose objects lying in its vicinity. While in this form, the windigo loses its incorporeal subtype but it gains two 1d6 damage claw attacks, a natural armor bonus, and a Strength score equal to its Charisma. Forming an environmental body requires a move action; the windigo can revert to its natural incorporeal form as a swift action. The natural armour bonus of the body depends on the hardness of its materials, according to the following table:

+0 NA Snow/Dust
+1 NA Leaves/Grass
+2 NA Wood
+3 NA Sand/Earth/Soil
+4 NA Stone
+5 NA Metal

Typically, a windigo will form an environmental body out of sand or soil, giving it the following statistics (those not listed are the same as the windigo's incorporeal form).
 

I like that!

Speaking of stats, since they "corporate," shouldn't these be one of those incorporeal critters with Str scores? Probably a reasonable one, too.
