Max ranks in Craft (sculpting)? If so, that leaves 12 ranks. Suggestions?

Hit Dice: 5d8
...
Skills: 24 (Swim +8 from swim speed)
Max rank = 8, so it should have 16 left, not 12?
So, 8 ranks into each of Listen, and Spot?
Unless you want to put the 'missing' 4 ranks into Swim, and possibly 6 ranks into Listen and Spot.

<edit> and of course the 8 ranks in Craft. :)

You're right about 16, and I like the Listen 6, Spot 6, Swim 4.

Updated Homebrews.

I went with an Advancement that allows them to keep pace with standard elementals.

I believe that all that is left is CR and weight. Thoughts?

Weight should be a bit heavier than a human, so 200-300lb for average, I guess. CR maybe 3 or 4?

CR: 3
Weight: 450 lbs (a cubic metre of ice is just over 900 lbs)

<edit> beaten to the punch by Freyar :)

Hmmm...I'm thinking at least CR 4.

Freezing sphere at caster level 9th deals 9d6 damage to an area. It can do this 3/day. Compare to the damage output of an air elemental's whirlwind or a storm elemental's thunder and lightning, and it's much higher.

CR 5?

An 8-foot ice paraelemental weighs 260 lb., so I think freyar's spot-on with the high end of his range.

I think we're done.

Do you want to alternate the elementals of law with those of chaos or do all the elementals of law first?

No problem either way. Got one you'd like next?
