Converting monsters from Imagine Magazine

[Shade]

As the abilities develop, I think Cha is a bit low. Bump it to 15-17?

 

[freyar]

Agreed. This should be a scary monster, so it should have some real teeth.

A tikbalang is 6-7 feet tall and weighs x pounds.

Tikbalangs speak Common and Sylvan. (Add Abyssal?)

 

[freyar]

Agreed on all the questions. Let's make it 300 lb? Will think about skills and feats in a bit.

 

[Shade]

We probably need to add this as well:

Flight (Su): A tikbalang can walk on air at will, allowing it to effectively fly at a speed of 40 feet with perfect maneuverability. This also grants it a permanent feather fall effect (as the spell) with personal range.

 

[freyar]

Flight sounds good.

Skills: Bluff, Intimidate, Disguise, Listen, Spot, Hide?, Jump?

Feats: Persuasive, Ability Focus (Great Roar), ?

 

[Shade]

Updated.

I think the CR needs a boost. Insanity is pretty powerful, and the thing is pretty hearty. Maybe CR 8-9?

 

[freyar]

Why not CR 9? They seem tough enough.

 

[Shade]

CR 9 it is. All done?

 

[freyar]

Think so!
