totally forgot about the belker... although that's more like "semisolid" rather than "semi-corporeal"

From the 2e DMG: Table 51: Poison Strength (p.73)

Class I
Method: Ingested
Onset: 2-12 min.
Strength: 30/15

The first number for strength is how many points of damage the poison usually inflicts; the second is how much on a successful saving throw.

Thanks!

So in 3.5 terms, that's probably Con damage, dealing more on initial than secondary, eh?

Does 2d6/1d6 Con damage seem reasonable?

Is that a bit much for 4 HD? (I haven't compared to other creatures, so it might not be.)

Possibly

I've just checked three creatures from the srd

Large monstrous spider (4 HD) does 1d6 Str/1d6 Str
Large monstrous scorpion (5 HD) does 1d4 Con/1d4 Con
The viper always does 1d6 Con/1d6 Con only the DC varies with size.

I guess 1d6 Con/!d6 Con would be more in keeping with those.

Great! How about 1d6/1d4 to preserve the lesser secondary effect?

Yeah that's fine

How does this look?

Corrupt Liquid (Su): Twice per day, a reviler can transform 1 cubic foot of water into a deadly ingested poison (Fort DC X, initial damage 1d6 Con, secondary damage 1d4 Con). Corrupted liquids revert to normal after 2d6 hours, and a neutralize poison, purify food and drink, or remove disease immediately removes the corruption. Multiple revilers often work together to corrupt larger bodies of water.

Let's nail down the ability scores.

Str 14, Dex 13-16, Con -, Int 12-14, Wis 12-16, Cha 13-18

How about...

Str 14, Dex 16, Con -, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 15
