[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5470584, member: 57383"] How about just making it 100 gp per Hit Dice? Treasure: Gems (see text) Demaraxas are reptilian creatures that feed upon magical or psionic crystals, such as ioun stones, dorjes, and gems of seeing. They travel alone or in small groups, roaming the planes in an endless search for magical crystals. Its movements are always slow and deliberate. The magical energies it consumes can prolong a demarax's lifespan to over 1,000 years. Demeraxes grow crystals in their hide as a side effect of their diet, their skins become thicker and more crystal-studded as they age. A few of these crystals are valuable gemstones, making a demarax's hide worth 500 to 1,500 gp (typically 100 gp per Hit Dice). Demaraxas have perfect memories and are unable to lie, making them excellent sources of information if a traveler can hold one's attention long enough. Legends claim that demaraxes were created by lawful deities to help control the chaos spread by magical crystals throughout the planes. The fact that demaraxes are always lawful and are usually found on lawfully-aligned planes seems to support these tales. A typical demarax is 6 feet long (not including a 4 foot tail) and weighs about 450 pounds. An ancient demarax will be heavier than a youngster of the same size, because it has a stonier hide. Demaraxes speak Common in a crude manner. Their typical dialogue goes something along these lines: "S-s-seen crys-s-stals-s? Need crys-stals. Hun-gry. Hun-gry now." [/QUOTE]
