Converting monsters from Imagine Magazine

Yeah, definitely stat up the unbound version. Another idea on the attacks: make the claws the Str drain but give negative energy damage to the bite.

 

[Shade]

1d6 for claws and 1d12 for bite? How much negative energy damage?

 

[demiurge1138]

1d8+Cha modifier, save for half?

 

[freyar]

Those damage values sound about right.

Updated.

Wanna give him some sort of negative energy affinity/protection?

 

[freyar]

Hmm, healed by negative energy, damaged by positive? It's a little odd for a demon, but I could go for it.

Updated.

Thoughts on this?

Slow (Su): Any creature drained of at least 1 point of Strength by A'azzatz must succeed on a DC 24 Fortitude save or be slowed (as the spell) for x minutes (or maybe until the Strength is restored?). The save DC is Constitution-based.

 

[freyar]

I'd say 1 minute, maybe 2. He's not that powerful.

Feats: Ability Focus (soul bite), Power Attack, Improved Critical (bite), Cleave, Multiattack?

 

[Shade]

Those feats look reasonable. Thoughts on eliminating the slowed condition if Str is restored?

I'd say we could do that, if Str is restored before the minute is up. But I wouldn't want to make someone wait until they're back to full Str; that might take a while, and I don't think he's quite that tough.
