[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5169838, member: 57383"] Not sure I'd rate this chap as a psionic monster. As for converting its "reflect back all psionic attacks" I'm thinking that'd work better as reflecting mind-affecting attacks that regular Spell Resistance. Stat-wise it looks like the Large Monstrous Crab is a good start. Its got animal intelligence and spell use, so we'd need to improve its mental stats a bit. Its best SLA is [I]lightning bolt[/I], so I'm thinking Cha 13 or so? Something like: Giant Horseshoe Crab: Str 21, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 2, Wis 11, Cha 13 It's got weaker claws than the Monstrous Crab but adds a powerful bite, which I'm thinking it also uses for its Constrict. 1d4 claws and 2d8 bite? For the SLAs, how about [I]shocking grasp[/I] plus [I]lightning bolt[/I], both at CL5? A literal translation of the frequencies would be a shocking grasp every minute and [I]lightning bolt[/I] every 4 yours but that seems a little ungainly, so I suppose: [B]Spell-Like Abilities:[/B] At-will—[I]shocking grasp[/I] (DC12), 3/day—[I]lightning bolt[/I] (DC14) at caster level 5, the save DCs are Charisma-based.
