Let's switch to blindsight, give them deeper darkness and keen senses. x = 5 for the duration of the panicked and confused statuses?

 

[freyar]

Agreed to all that.

Updated.

60 feet for blindsight?

Feats: Flyby Attack, Weapon Focus (bite)?

You've got a misplaced comma around Charisma in its abilites line.

 

[Shade]

Sounds good, and I fixed the errant comma.

Gloomwings are thought to serve dark powers (evil priests, dragons, etc.) as messengers, steeds, and spies.

They seek to become the masters if their neighbors are weaker, or well-paid servants if the neighbors are stronger.

They horde treasure to use as bribes or to purchase services from lesser creatures. These hordes are always well hidden and frequently trapped to prevent theft.

Bluff, Craft (trapmaking), Diplomacy, Hide, Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spot?

 

[demiurge1138]

Those skills appeal.

 

[freyar]

Agreed to all that.

Hmm, they're not too physically tough, but they have that nasty poison and deeper darkness probably works pretty well vs low level parties (esp in combination with its senses). CR 4? Or even 5?

 

[demiurge1138]

Let's say CR 4.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Alignment: Always neutral evil?

Advancement: 6-9 HD (Large); 10-18 HD (Huge)?

Level Adjustment: +6?

A gloomwing is x feet long with a 15-foot wingspan and weighs x pounds.

 

[freyar]

There's an extra "the" in the language sentence.

That all looks good. I'm thinking 9 ft long and maybe 150 lb?
