(6 squares), climb 20 ft.; AC: 14 (+1 size, +3 natural); Attack: Bite –5 melee (1d4–1*); Abilities: Str 8, Dex 10, Con 10, Int —, Wis 11, Cha 7.Giant Soldier Termite: Medium Vermin; Hit Dice: 3d8+3; Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares), climb 20 ft.; AC: 15 (+5 natural); Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d8+4 plus poison); Abilities: Str 16, Dex 10, Con 13, Int —, Wis 13, Cha 11.Giant Queen Termite: Large Vermin; Hit Dice: 6d8+18 (45 hp); AC: 8 (–1 size, –4 Dex, +3 natural); Attack: Bite +2 melee (1d6–1); Abilities: Str 8, Dex 3, Con 16, Int —, Wis 11, Cha 12.The Soldier Termite has a number of special attacks that don't seem germane to our conversion, but are Constrict 1d8+4, Improved Grab and Poison [DC 14, 1d4 acid/1d4 rounds paralysis] if you're curious.I'm happy to add a Worker Caste, since they appear in Crystal Spheres, but wouldn't add any Formian-analogs.Actually, I'd be reluctant to use a Formian as a model, since they're pretty tough compared to an Isopterite. Also, they won't be Outsiders like Formians are. Indeed, what type will we make them? Magical Beast? Monstrous Humanoid? Aberration? I think we'd be better off taking a Giant Worker Ant or Giant Worker Termite and increasing it to Large for the physical stats, and probably use some of the Warrior caste's mental stats.That'd produce something like:Str 18, Dex 8 or 10, Con 16 or 17, Int 3 or 4, Wis 11 or 13, Cha 9 or 11. They ought to have natural armour +7 or +6 to give it AC 15 [depending on which Dex we use].</blockquote>
