Converting monsters from Imagine Magazine

Revising...

Hopelessness (Su): Any creature that successfully attacks Santa becomes catatonic for 1d6 rounds, taking no actions but defending itself normally. Thereafter, the creature takes a -2 morale penalty to all attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks since it realizes it will never get a present from Santa again. Evil creatures are allowed a DC X Will save to negate the effect. This penalty may only be removed with an atonement, wish, or miracle spell. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Deflection bonus sounds good. Maybe unearthly grace?

Unearthly Grace (Su): Santa adds his Charisma modifier as a bonus on all his saving throws and as a deflection bonus to his Armor Class.

Those look good!

1d8 damage for the bag? 1d6 for the present?

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Let's go 1d10 for the bag, like a greatclub.

Shall we give him levitate as an at-will SLA (for getting back up chimneys)?

 

[freyar]

Yes on levitate!

 

[Shade]

Any other spell-like abilities? Maybe mending/make whole? Fabricate?

 

[demiurge1138]

Fabricate and make whole both make sense.

 

[Shade]

Fabricate 3/day, make whole at will?

 

[freyar]

That makes good sense.

6 ft tall and 300 lb? Is that sufficiently round?

Skills: Appraise, Craft (alchemy), Craft (toymaking), Craft (woodworking), Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Knowledge (geography), Listen, Move Silently, Open Lock, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand?

 

[demiurge1138]

Those skills all make good sense. I'd also add Know: local, maybe at the expense of Sleight of Hand.

 

[freyar]

Sounds fine to me.
