Converting Psionic Creatures

That suggests to me we give the regular (9-tentacled) wonder a Mind Flayer's Mind Blast Death Throes and the lesser (8-tentacled) wonder a Force Blast Death Throes.

Yep, might as well.

 

[Cleon]

Yep, might as well.

Seems we're agreed then.

 

[freyar]

Yup. So I guess that can get updated.

How do we want to do the wild magic and antimagic auras? Don't those kind of conflict with each other?

I'd interpret the "anti-magic" as just a very high Spell Resistance. If they actually had true anti-magic there'd be no point to the original version(s) having a Magic Resistance percentage, since no spell would affect them.

The wild magic is simply a 1/day roll on the rod of wonder table.

That probably works best.

Good idea!

How far should the aura extend?

 

[freyar]

OK, I'll agree to all that.

Re-reading, the wild magic is just a 1/day Su or Sp, as Cleon says, a roll on the rod of wonder table.

Wild Magic (Su): Once per day, a wingless wonder can create a wild magic effect as a standard action. To determine the effect, roll d% on the following table. All save DCs are Charisma-based.

<insert rod of wonder table with modified DCs>

Wouldn't it be easier just to use a roll on the rod of wonder table rather than come up with a new table? We can just add that the effect uses the Walking Wonder's Cha-based DC rather than the rod's DC.

 

[freyar]

I did mean just to copy the rod of wonder table. But I'd rather have a separate copy to remind the DM that DCs are set by the monster rather than the ones for the rod.

I agree with Cleon here. No need to reprint the table...just direct DMs to hit and note the save DCs are based on wonder's Charisma.

Sounds like enough to write up a special ability. Hint hint.
