[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6797951, member: 57383"] Updating the [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6691084#post6691084"]Ovinaur Working Draft[/URL][/B]. Working out the Goat Magic first would be easier so let's do that. The original monster had Goat Magic at "half their experience level", so the easiest approach is changing Discerp as follows: [B]Discerp (Su):[/B] Once per month, a [COLOR=#00ffff]caprine[/COLOR] can drain energy from an undead creature or a creature with the Extraplanar subtype. The victim must be physically or magically restrained in some way. Each minute that the [COLOR=#00ffff]caprine[/COLOR] concentrates on discerping, the victim gains a negative level (positive level in the case of undead) and the [COLOR=#00ffff]caprine[/COLOR] gains 10 empowerment points. A [COLOR=#00ffff]caprine[/COLOR] can discerp a maximum number of levels equal to [COLOR=#ff0000]half its HD (round down)[/COLOR]. If the victim has as many negative levels as HD, it falls unconscious rather than dying. Negative levels are recovered at the rate of 1/day and never become permanent. A [COLOR=#00ffff]caprine[/COLOR] may never have more empowerment points than [COLOR=#ff0000]5[/COLOR] times its Hit Dice. For Empowerment, we just need to change all mentions of "goatling" to "caprine". Finally, with the Goat Magic entry we need to make it "Caster level equals [COLOR=#FF0000]half[/COLOR] the creature’s HD" and double the HD at which they gain the power, i.e.: [B]Goatling Spell-Like Abilities[/B] [TABLE="class: cms_table_cms_table, align: left"] [TR] [TD][B]HD[/B][/TD] [TD][B]Abilities[/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]1-5[/TD] [TD][I]detect magic[/I], [I]protection from evil[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]6-9[/TD] [TD][I]binding circle[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-13[/TD] [TD][I]dispel magic[/I], [I]occultation[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]14-17[/TD] [TD][I]dimension door[/I], [I]sunfire whip[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]18-21[/TD] [TD][I]contact outer plane[/I] (1/week), [I]magic jar[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]22-29[/TD] [TD][I]antimagic field[/I], [I]binding cage[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]30+[/TD] [TD][I]summon coven[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Hmm... I'm not sure I like the above that much. SRD monsters with SLA tables tend to have them "cap out" at 20 HD. Maybe make it: [B]Goatling Spell-Like Abilities[/B] [TABLE="class: cms_table_cms_table, align: left"] [TR] [TD][B]HD[/B][/TD] [TD][B]Abilities[/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]1-3[/TD] [TD][I]detect magic[/I], [I]protection from evil[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]4-6[/TD] [TD][I]binding circle[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]7-9[/TD] [TD][I]dispel magic[/I], [I]occultation[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10-12[/TD] [TD][I]dimension door[/I], [I]sunfire whip[/I][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]13-15[/TD] [TD][I]contact outer plane[/I] (1/week), [I]magic jar[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]16-19[/TD] [TD][I]antimagic field[/I], [I]binding cage[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]20+[/TD] [TD][I]summon coven[/I] (1/month)[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
