Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

1d3 minutes is a bit better but still possibly overpowered. How about 1d12 rounds?

By the way, HD should be 8d8+16=52 hp, I believe.

How about keeping it 1d3 minutes but making it Charisma-based (since it's supernatural) so the DC is lower?

You're right there.

I'm wondering whether we should add a "2H Ax" option to the attacks for if it loses one of its weapons, e.g. "Battleaxe +9/+4 melee (1d8+4/x3) and battleaxe +9 melee (1d8+2/x3) and bite +7 melee (pain); or battleaxe +13/+8 melee (1d8+6/x3) and bite +7 melee (pain); or 2 claws +12 melee (1d6+4) and bite +7 melee (pain)".

On reflection it seems unnecessary, since it says they prefer double-wielding.

I guess that would work. So it doesn't affect you often, but it's a doozy when it does.

I'd hope the DM can figure out that they'll go two-handed if disarmed.

Are we agreed then?:

Pain (Su): Any creature bitten by a cave kala must succeed on a DC 14 Fort save or suffer wracking pains that impose a –4 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks for x rounds. The save DC isCharisma-based.

Well we're not all geniuses, you know.

Agreed! And 1d3 minute duration.

For some reason, your post reminds me of a brilliant web ad that WotC had back in the 3.5 days. It showed a guy staring at a computer screen and said, "If you're going to sit in your basement pretending to be an elf, you might as well invite some friends."

Don't know what you're talking about, I sit in my front room pretending to be an elf. Why, we don't even have a basement.

With our recent blizzard, I've been pretending to be a white dragon for the icewalking!

Updated.

I'm not sure where the 11 hp came from, but it's fixed.

CR 6?

A cave kala stands x feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.

They look more like a Challenge Rating 5 to me.

A cave kala stands x feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.

The MC6 version says Earth Kala are the smaller species, but they are both listed as being 6 feet tall, so use the same height with a greater weight?

We made the Earth Kala 6 feet and 200 pounds, so 6 feet and 250 pounds for the Cave Kala?

CR 5 and 250 pounds appeal.

I'll need to update the flavor text, as cave kala are not nomadic.

That makes sense, there aren't many that live in wandering caves.

Guess we're nearly done, then.
