[QUOTE="Aspect of BOZ, post: 3490039, member: 41113"] I’m Creeping Death! Alternate form it is! let’s give that a start. I’m thinking he could be just a Medium sized-creature. Do we need to state anything more than what attacks he can use and the ability to fly? I would think that all powers he has should be useable in both forms. Alternate Form (Su): Malphas can shift between his humanoid and bird forms as a standard action. In bird form, he gains a fly speed of 80 feet per round (good/average?) and gains (claw and bite attacks), but cannot (use weapons). Malphas remains in one form until he chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does Malphas revert to any particular form when killed. A true seeing spell reveals both forms simultaneously. So, good point, what sort of weapon shall we give him? The text gives no indication that I can see as to what type of weapon he would wield. We could go with the trusty sword option, or get more creative like with an axe, hammer, or anything. Ah, total freedom! The text said damage “by weapon +5” so he’s definitely an ass-kicker. One thing I noted. Check out where it says flame arrow, and that Malphas “can also apply this to blades”. I think that means he could use flame arrow as an SLA at will, plus the Su ability we wrote up. Agree, disagree? We had agreed before (look back to slightly less than a month ago) that he would only have the tongues SLA and not the Su ability. This is what we have so far: Spell-Like Abilities: (Caster level 20th?) At will - bestow curse (DC X), detect thoughts (DC X), dispel magic, greater teleport, produce flame, pyrotechnics, read magic, remove curse, see invisibility, tongues: (charm monster (DC 27), discern lies, dispel magic, faerie fire, fire shield (either version), greater teleport, locate object, produce flame, pyrotechnics, read magic, see invisibility, suggestion (DC 26), telekinesis (DC 28) 1/day - symbol of pain (DC X). (dominate monster (DC 32), symbol of stunning (DC 30).) locate creature? This is what we have: Summon Baatezu (Sp): Once per day, Malphas can attempt to summon 1d2 abishai (of any color) with a 55% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a Xth-level spell (CL Xth). Note that for Amduscias, we set the spell level at 8th and the caster level at 20th. [/QUOTE]
