Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

I like that idea, actually! Nice and simple, but it captures the spirit of the original attack.

Works for me.

 

[Shade]

Like so?

"Inferno Charge" (Ex): When a blazozoid makes a charge attack, it deals an additional xdx points of fire damage due to its enveloping flames.

4d6 extra?

 

[freyar]

That seems fair, extra 50%. Or we could make it double damage, like a lance would be. Extra 8d6?

Either would suit me, or we could go for an arbitrary number like Powerful Charge. Perhaps +6d6 or 7d6.

 

[freyar]

+6d6 seems like a reasonable compromise.

Done!

Updated.

Updated.

"The blazozoid then tries to remain in contact with the target, using its firetouch to consume it. ... Those attempting to escape a blazozoid&#8217s grasp must roll a successful Dexterity check."

Improved Grab?

 

[Shade]

Improved Grab?

Perhaps, or maybe something akin to engulf is more appropriate?

Yes, I was wondering about an Engulf-type approach to.

That seems a better fit to its physical nature, and ties in better with a Dex check to escape (which presumably translates to a Reflex save).
