Converting monsters from Imagine Magazine

Added to Homebrews.

We could give them "death throes" that throw shards of porcelain in adjacent areas.

Let's give them Multiattack as a bonus feat.

I could go with Explosive Destruction (Ex) or something as long as no one else thinks we're getting too far from the original intent. Maybe 2d4 piercing damage in a 5ft radius, Ref save half?

I like them exploding.

I also feel weird about them being "China" dolls in a world without a China. Porcelain, perhaps?

Yeah, I got that vibe, too. I'll rename 'em porcelain dolls.

Nice work with the weremouse.

I like what you have done with the china dolls.

I'd go with this. Death Throes is too similar to the draconian from Dragonlance, but Explosive Destruction could be based on these constructs being pressurised (or something like that).

I like demiurge's suggestion for a name change. I'd say that the word porcelain should be used within the Explosive Destruction (Ex) ability.

Porcelain Explosion, maybe?

I meant within the text rather than in the title.

Death Throes is a fairly common term used for similar monster abilities. See balor, frost worm, bladerager troll, and so forth.

Of course, since a construct doesn't "die", I'm fine with a name change. But not Porcelain Explosion...that reminds me of a bad experience in the bathroom!

Worse things have happened.

I'm sure there are constructs with similar abilities that we could use the name from. Can you think of any?

 

[Shade]

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but "Explosive Destruction" works for me.

Updated.
