Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

Just make them both Su, then.

Will do...

...did do.

Come to think of it, if we make Hungry Paper (Su) doesn't it mean that, in a literal reading of the rules, a gohei can't starve in an antimagic zone because its hunger doesn't work?

Or am I overthinking things, as usual?

I'll return Hungry Paper to being typeless, for the time being, like a Vampire's weaknesses.

Possibly, but I'm not sure that's a big deal.

Possibly.

I loathe typeless abilities. Grr....

 

[freyar]

Vampire weaknesses aren't an ability are they? They always seem like a whole separate section to me. But I don't think we need that. Just make it Ex if we have to.

If it makes it easier I prefer Ex over Su, although I'm OK with typeless in this case, unlike Shade.

 

[Shade]

Ex it is!

 

[Cleon]

Ex it is!

Updated Working Draft.

"Though they have no sensory organs, gohei p’oh can detect the presence of all living creatures within an area 20 feet in diameter. They can detect spirits, and intruders who are invisible. No one can surprise a gohei p’oh"

Blind and Blindsense 20 ft.? It probably isn't be deaf, since it responds to its master's commands.

"A transformation takes one full round, during which the paper spirit remains stationary and can take no other actions"

Alternate form is a full-round action?

 

[freyar]

Just blindsense, not blind, since there's no mention that they're immune to gaze attacks.

Full-round it is.

Full-round it is.

Agreed to all that.

Anybody want to work up some flavor, etc, then?
