Converting monsters from Dungeon Magazine

figured you might want to see it in homebrews... so there it is.

Sweet, thanks!

First off, I think we should rename it The Creature of Havenmere ("Demon")

DR 10/X?

Environment: Unknown Alternate Material Plane?

Assuming those skill ranks...

Balance +7, Climb +23, Concentration +14, Jump +12, Listen +17, Spot +11, Survival +11

Add these from earlier:

Acidic Saliva (Ex): The "demon"'s bite is extremely acidic and highly toxic. Anyone bitten by the "demon" must make a DC 24 Fortitude save or take an additional 3d8 points of acid damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Caustic Sweat (Ex): A "demon" that performs a stressful activity, such as combat or carrying a heavy load for at least two rounds, begins to sweat. This perspiration is strongly acidic, dealing 1d4 points of acid damage to any creature that touches the "demon" with a natural attack or unarmed strike. The "demon" also deals this acid damage each round to a grappled opponent. The sweat usually lingers for the duration of the stressful activity, and for a number of rounds equal to the "demon"'s Constitution modifier after the activity ended.

The creature's sweat has a bitter reek, and is considered an overpowering scent, meaning the "demon" can be detected at triple normal range by creature's with the scent ability.

damage reduction 10/magic and piercing or slashing?

Environment: Unknown Alternate Material Plane?

i thought 3E got rid of the idea of alternate MPs? as in, there is only one MP with many worlds.

Sounds good.

Oh no, not at all. In fact, looking at the MOTP, it refers to "a Material Plane" rather than "the Material Plane" in many places. Several adventures have featured alternate Material Planes as well (the Harrowing is one, off the top of my head).

 

[BOZ]

unknown alternate material plane then?

 

[Shade]

Brilliant!

 

[BOZ]

just thinking on my feet.

Inscrutable Mind DC should be 22. As 14th-level sorcerer?

Remove normal magic missle from SLAs, since we've got a separate ability now.

CR 13 or 14? It seems as good as, if not slightly better than a glabrezu, but not necessarily up to nalfeshnee power.

 

[BOZ]

i'm usually conservative, but we can go 14 if you like that better.

It's the barrage of magic missles that pushes it over the edge for me. What do you think?
