Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

[Aspect of BOZ]

i definitely wouldn't want them immune to all mind-affecting effects; that's way too powerful for a 1-HD creature. immune to all enchanment effects might still be a bit much. we could look to elves; they are immune to sleep and have a +2 bonus against all enchantment magic. perhaps we could give them immunity to charm subschool spells, and a +2 bonus vs. all enchanment magic, which would be similar but a bit better than elves?

 

[Aspect of BOZ]

also, do we want the bonus save vs. poisons to be +1?

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Yeah, I like that!

also, do we want the bonus save vs. poisons to be +1?

I'd go +2, like dwarves.

 

[Knight Otu]

is there anything that's immune to just charm spells?

Either the half-fey or the feytouched from the Fiend Folio, can't remember which.

I just looked 'em up:

Half-fey are immune to enchantment spells and effects.

A feytouched is immune to all spells and effects with the mind-affecting descriptor.

 

[Knight Otu]

Oh. Then ignore that post.

Well, at least it offers us several examples of degrees of immunity to such effects.

 

[Aspect of BOZ]

Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day - purify food and drink, sanctuary (self only, DC X); 1/day - barkskin; 1/week - tree shape. Caster level Xth. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

 

[Shade]

Caster level = character level? That's my vote.

 

[Aspect of BOZ]

sure; it won't affect much. how would that be written?
