Shade said:Yeah, I'd ditch the percentage, and make it as the contagion spell.
how about:
Contagion (Su?): Any creature struck by a tuyewera’s slam attack must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC X) or contract a debilitating disease. This spell causes (X disease) and affects the creature as a contagion spell (caster level X).
As for the not taking control away, perhaps we should rewrite it to "a tuyewera cannot be commanded by any cleric other than the creator" or somesuch. They should still be able to rebuke them.
how about:
“Bond With Creator” (Ex): A tuyewera is bound to the cleric that created it, and will always follow the commands of its creator. A tuyewera cannot be commanded by any cleric other than the creator, even if rebuked.
Yep, you said: "I’d say it just as it sounds – a special immunity to manufactured weapons (or maybe even natural weapons?) that can be dispelled by dispel magic for 1d4 rounds." That should work, except I'd make it immune to all weapon attacks (natural, manufactured, and unarmed strikes).
how about:
Immune to Weapons (Sp?): A tuyewera is immune to all weapon attacks, including natural and manufactured weapons and unarmed strikes. If a dispel magic spell is cast on a tuyewera, this ability will be dispelled for 1d4 rounds.
