[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6980093, member: 57383"] We've still got to decide on the energy resistances, but I think that's the only mechanical aspect to sort out once we've finished with the Susceptibility to Darkness. Speaking of which, I'm starting to wonder whether it makes more sense if instead of the two-grade effect of either one-off damage or damage per round we only used the one-off damage. Anyhow, here are the two options: [B]Susceptibility to Darkness #1 (Ex):[/B] If a radiance quasi-elemental makes contact with any spell with the Darkness descriptor, either by being targeted by the spell or entering its area of effect, the darkness spell is instantly dispelled and the quasi-elemental suffers damage according to the following table: [B] Radiance Quasi-Elemental Darkness Damage Table[/B] [TABLE="width: 420"] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2][B]Spell Level [/B][/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2][B]Damage [/B][/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]0 [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d3 [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]1st [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d4 per caster level (max 5d4) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]2nd [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d4 per caster level (max 10d4) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]3rd [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d6 per caster level (max 10d6) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]4th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d6 per caster level (max 15d6) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]5th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d6 per caster level (max 15d6) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]6th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d6 per caster level (max 20d6) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]7th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d6 [SIZE=2]per caster level[/SIZE] (max 20d6) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]8th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d8 per [SIZE=2][SIZE=2]caster level[/SIZE][/SIZE] (max 20d8) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][SIZE=2]9th [/SIZE][/TD] [TD][SIZE=2]1d8 per [SIZE=2][SIZE=2]caster level[/SIZE][/SIZE] (max 25d8) [/SIZE][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [COLOR=#00ffff]If we go for the two-grade level, it would go along these lines:[/COLOR] [B]Susceptibility to Darkness #2 (Ex):[/B] If a spell with the Darkness descriptor is cast upon a radiance quasi-elemental, the darkness spell is instantly cancelled and the quasi-elemental suffers damage according to the Direct Damage column of the Radiance Quasi-Elemental Darkness Damage Table.
