Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Shade]

Ok back after a long weekend.

Welcome back!

I have no problems with adding Diplomacy and Sense Motive.

Ditto. I'd pass on Craft, though.

I prefer putting the benefits of Augment Summoning into their Summon Silver Warriors so that it only affected the Silver Warriors.

ah, good point! nixing that feat, then.

posting in homebrews!

Filling in the list...

Spells: A faedorne can cast arcane spells as a 12th-level wizard. Typical Wizard Spells Prepared (4/5/5/5/4/3/2; save DC 14 + spell level):
0 – detect magic, light, ghost sound, read magic;
1st – charm person, comprehend languages, mage armor, protection from evil, shield;
2nd – detect thoughts, invisibility, mirror image, protection from arrows, see invisibility;
3rd – displacement, fly, haste, lightning bolt, major image;
4th – greater invisibility, hallucinatory terrain, polymorph, rainbow pattern;
5th – mirage arcanan, summon monster V, teleport;
6th – antimagic field, permanent image.
The save DCs are Intelligence-based.

"Three times a day, a faedorne is able to use a clairvoyance spell to view the land below her Shining Isle. In addition, a faedorne has the spellcasting abilities of a 12th level magic-user, as well as being able to summon 1d6 silver warriors (page 94) at will."

a few issues with the magical abilities. that clairvoyance may need to be a spelled-out ability, since it needs to work across that planar boundary. also, the silver warrior summoning needs a writeup, and the duration had better not be marked in rounds. perhaps until dismissed?

Yeah, spell out clairvoyance. Silver warrior duration could be 24 hours and total HD limit, like Zuggy's summon fungi ability.

 

[BOZ]

good call. i still don't have my copy of #337 yet though...

the question on the clairvoyance then, would be *how* to spell that out? just say, has clairvoyance/clairaudience like a 20th level caster, and can scan anything on the Material Plane?

 

[Shade]

How's this?

Superior Clairvoyance (Su): At will, the faedorne can use a powerful form of clairaudience/clairvoyance, which functions as the spell (caster level 25th), except that the faedorne may use it to view any location on the Material Plane, regardless of her current location.

 

[BOZ]

nice. want to add a summon ability, using the format you suggested? (poor me still doesn't have that issue yet.)

 

[Shade]

Sure.

Summon Silver Warrior (Sp): A faedorne can automatically summon up to X Hit Dice of silver warriors per day to serve her needs. Summoned silver warriors remain for 24 hours, at which point they vanish unless she immediately re-summons them. She can summon any number of silver warriors at one time as long as the total number of Hit Dice summoned does not exceed her maximum. Silver warriors summoned by a faedorne are treated as if she had the Augment Summoning feat (gaining a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution).

cool. i think i'll cut that down to 1d6 again. the reason zuggs was set up the way she was, i think, was so that she could summon several different types of creatures in any way she likes.
