Converting Monsters from Polyhedron Magazine

Sounds good. Add flavor that they know how to pass shriekers without disturbing them?

 

[Shade]

Indeed. And the common presence of patches of russet mold.

So, that org line works for the regular plantfolk. How about the chief?

Organization: Tribe (1 chief plus 30-300 plantfolk and 2-8 6 HD bodyguards and one 7th-8th level subchief per 50 adults plus 0-5 shriekers)

 

[freyar]

Sounds good!

 

[Shade]

Updated plantfolk and chief.

Chief Skills: 26

Chief Feats: Weapon Focus (spear), 3 more

 

[freyar]

Spot 9, Listen 9, Survival 8?

Track, maybe Ability Focus (moldering) if that's not too strong already, Power Attack?

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Challenge Rating: *?

Advancement: By character class?

Level Adjustment: +4?

 

[freyar]

CR 7? The rest sounds good.

 

[Shade]

Heh. I actually meant that asterix to be an 8, but the shift key must've stuck. CR 7 works, though.

Updated.

Anything else? Should we describe how a chief comes to be? Is one simply born to be a chief, or does a normal plantfolk advance by HD until it becomes strong enough to stake its claim?

 

[freyar]

The stats look done. As for the flavor, I think I like the advancement idea. But there can only be one chief per tribe -- a prospective chief either has to find a new tribe or wait until the previous chief dies.

Do these cratures have a favorite (sic) class?
