Converting Monsters From Gamma World

[Nookie]

Okidokey Updateing the statblock with what we hve so far.

 

[freyar]

Space/Reach: 10 ft/10 ft.
Someone should translate the speed.
In the absence of feats, Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +6
Skills: 12 ranks
Feats: 4

Bite attack, looks like 1d6+7 damage. Give them a sword or spear of some type?

Maybe some natural armor, but definitely armor (studded leather?) and a shield (probably large steel?).

Psi-like abilities for the telekinesis and life leach? I can find telekinetic force in the SRD, but is there a 3.5 version of life leach?

 

[demiurge1138]

Longspear would be fun for the 15 foot reach.

Hostile empathic transfer is what you're looking for, freyar.

 

[freyar]

I like the longspear.

In that case, picking number/day at random:
Psi-like Abilities: 3/day - telekinetic force (DC 12), hostile empathic transfer (DC 12). Manifester level X. The save DC is Charisma-based.

We might want to bump Cha, actually. Also, the 1st edition stats give them weather manipulation. Anyone know what that might be nowadays?

 

[demiurge1138]

Boosting Cha just a little would be good. They could have actual control weather, but that seems really powerful for a creature of their caliber.

 

[freyar]

Cha 10 or 12?

I'd be inclined maybe to give them the psionic power control air. It's like a tiny version of control weather.

 

[Nookie]

Well we could just make some Psi like ability that is something like a lesser form of controll weather to More fit their power level.

 

[Shade]

Control air seems a reasonable replacement. Maybe a bunch of them together can perform a control weather ritual, similar in mechanics to this...

Summon Large Air Elemental (Su): A group of five aarakocras that includes at least one cleric can cast summon monster VI to summon a Large air elemental. To perform the summoning, the aarakocras must perform an intricate aerial dance for 3 rounds.

 

[freyar]

Good idea, also like the vrock's dance of ruin.

Shade, do we want to homebrew these? On a related note, are these ok for the CC?

 

[Nookie]

I like it as well.
