[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5466528, member: 57383"] Firstly, I think it's too heavy. A human body is roughly 85% as dense as water (it can vary quite a bit depending on body fat) and doesn't have [I]that[/I] much air volume to become water-logged. 150-200 pounds would suit me better. Although 300 pounds is OK if the bigger Bereginya become grotesquely overweight from eating their victims... :eek: Secondly, it looks like you've forgotten something: A simple [I]disguise self[/I] type (Su) power would cope with that. We could modify the Living Disguise SQ we came up with for the Amiq Rasol: [B]Living Disguise (Su):[/B] An amiq rasol is under a permanent illusion (glamer) effect which makes it appear to be a living creature. A Spot check which beats the amiq rasol's Disguise check (the Rasol gets a +10 bonus on this check) will reveal it to be some kind of unnatural monster, but not what kind; it requires an additional DC 18 Knowledge (religion) check to reveal it is an Undead. A creature that touches the amiq rasol may also make a DC 18 Will save to recognize it is undead. This does not dispel the illusion nor reveal its true appearance. Only a [I]true seeing[/I] effect or entry into an anti-magic field can reveal the amiq rasol's true appearance. The [I]detect undead[/I] spell will also reveal the Rasol's true nature, but not its true appearance. Creatures with the scent special quality receives a +10 bonus on the above checks to penetrate the amiq rasol's living disguise. The check and save DCs are Charisma-based. [/QUOTE]
