Heheh, I kind of like "ethereal swallow." It shounds just funny enough.

And, yes, the ethereal swallow is potentially worse even than a cockatrice's petrifying bite (for example).

Well a cockatrice can petrify as often as it can touch a victim, these ghost paper boxes can only Ethershunt a victim once per day.

Maybe Challenge Rating 1 or 2? A cockatrice is only CR3.

You know, a cockatrice should be nastier than that - the poor things were badly served by the SRD.

 

[freyar]

Well, they're quite weak otherwise. I like what Pathfinder did with the cockatrice, at least if you want to keep the CR low, which is reducing the potency of the bite (at first).

I guess CR 2 for the paper spirits. What else do we need to do for these?

 

[Shade]

I like the term "Ethershunt".

I like the term "Ethershunt".

Reminds me of ethergaunts. Hey, that could work!

 

[Cleon]

Hmm, I think I like Ethereal Swallow better than Ethershunt.

How about joining the two and making it Etherswallow?

Or use a synonym for swallow - Ethergulp?

I'll stick what we have so far into the Working Draft, with CR 2.

Of the three, I have no strong preference, but find "Ethereal Swallow" slightly preferable to merging the two words.

 

[freyar]

I think I prefer ethereal swallow also.

Hungry Paper should be Ex or maybe Su.

Fine by me.

Hungry Paper should be Ex or maybe Su.

I think I prefer (Ex) for Hungry Paper, since it's more like a dependency such as a Sahuagin's Water Dependent (Ex).

Hungry Paper uses Erase (Sp) or Breath Drain (Ex), so we could go for either.

Hmm, why did I list Breath Drain as (Ex), Shouldn't we make Breath Drain (Su)?

I'm still not 100% sure I like the Erase as a (Sp), but I guess we should leave it like that to follow the spell.

 

[Shade]

Yep, breath drain should be Su, and probably hungry paper as well (since its need for sustenance isn't based on living biological functions).
