Converting True Dragons

[Cleon]

Sorry guys, being traveling again, just got enough connection to PM back to freyar at my hotel.

Yes it does. And the dragon which has that ability is the amethyst dragon, for which I wrote a 3.5 update [SHAMELESS PLUG]at my Sardior group at WotC listed at my sig.[/SHAMELESS PLUG]

Well there's little point reinventing the wheel then.

I would rather have the weight limit vary according to the dragon's power though, rather than have it set at 10 tons like the 3.5 Amethyst Dragon on RavinRay's group.

 

[Shade]

Sure, I like the variable weight limit for the ability.

 

[RavinRay]

Yes, it shouldn't be a carbon copy of amethyst telekinesis.

 

[freyar]

Agreed. How about +10 tons per "age category"? Or did you have something more complex in mind?

Well obviously.

Something like 1000 pounds per Hit Dice, plus 10000 pounds per additional "age category".

Something like 1000 pounds per Hit Dice, plus 10000 pounds per additional "age category".

Replace "age category" with "each time the template is gained", and we're good.

 

[freyar]

Replace all you like.

OK then, revising...

Telekinetic Control (Su): Once every 1d4+1 rounds, an air dragon can use one of the following telekinetic abilities: telekinetic force, telekinetic maneuver, or telekinetic thrust. Save DCs equal its breath weapon save DC.

Telekinetic Force: As the power, except that the dragon can move an object weighing up to 1,000 pounds times its Hit Dice. Each time it gains this template, this amount improves by 1,000 pounds.

Telekinetic Maneuver: As the power, except that the dragon can also hurl a Large or smaller creature against another object. The impact deals 20d6 points of damage to a Large creature, 15d6 to a Medium one, 10d6 to a Small one, 5d6 to a Tiny one, or 1d6 to a Diminutive or Fine creature.

Telekinetic Thrust: As the power, except that the dragon can move creatures or objects with a total weight of up to 1,000 pounds times its Hit Dice. Each time it gains this template, this amount improves by 1,000 pounds.


NOTE: I didn't see any details on telekinetic thrust on RavinRay's group, so I improvised. Let me know if that seems odd.

 

[RavinRay]

Well, I didn't flesh out telekinetic thrust because it worked exactly as the power. For maneuver, do we scale up the damage per template gained as well?

 

[freyar]

Maybe add a static bonus. Something like +1 or +2 per time the template is gained?
