Actually, I like the way you wrote it just fine. I was starting to think along those lines yesterday evening as I considered what to do with it. I’m not sure there is any great way to handle it, but maybe this would be the best. :)

Vampiric Mist

Hey Boz! I hope I'm not stepping on too many toes here, but I've always loved this guy, and this is my recent workup on him. I was getting ready to throw him at my PCs soon. Please feel free to rip, tear, & shred this if you've got a better idea (I couldn't find a way to ask you to convert on on the CC website - so I had to take a stab at it).

Combat: a Vampiric mist attacks by engulfing a foe with its body & draining the victim of all his body fluids.

Engulf (Ex): if successful in a touch attack, as a standard action can attempt to engulf a medium–sized or smaller creature; this involves a grapple check that does not provoke an AOO. If it succeeds in the grapple, it drains 1D2 CON every round as long as it maintains the grapple. After it drains 8 points on CON, it is satiated & disengages.

Susceptibility: after draining 8 points of CON, the ‘mist moves at 20ft, and has AC13 for 1 hour.

So let me know where you were going, and if this is in the same general direction?

thanks thom! i was actually going to work on this monster in another thread, starting in a few days (when i can get my stuff together!), so i will move this post to that thread at that time. :) keep an eye out for that! :)
 


hope so! we'll start on that one most likely between thursday to saturday, but if i can squeak it in i might just start it tonight. :) i've been trying to learn not to make promises about things like that, as i often don't succeed. ;)
