Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

[Shade]

Since it is now blind, I vote we replace its skill ranks in Spot.

Suggestions?

Since it is now blind

Hmm... given it's blind and doesn't know where is going perhaps a random movement mechanic?

I suppose Listen would be an option.

Search.

I'll agree to Listen. That'll let it target critters if it's so inclined.

No objections.

Although have you considered Sense Motive?

Err, yes?

Let's modify the description a bit:

A tiny sphere bobs and floats through the air, stirring up turbulence.

And flavor:

The origins and nature of vortices are mysterious. While their ties to air mark them as elementals, they cannot be summoned or called. Their motivations are likewise obscure; as far as anyone can tell, the exist only to dance through the air, attacking in a blind fury when threatened.

The "blind fury" makes them sound too aggressive to me, I'd rather play up their random/chaotic behaviour:

A tiny sphere bobs and floats through the air, spinning in circles so incredibly fast it stirs up a miniature tornado.

The origins and nature of vortices are mysterious. While their ties to air mark them as elementals, they cannot be summoned or called. Their motivations are likewise obscure; as far as anyone can tell, the exist only to dance through the air, moving about randomly as the whim and winds take them. Their behavior is highly chaotic, a vortex might ignore threatening opponents, or attack in a blind fury without provocation.

COMBAT
A vortex whips the atmosphere around itself into a small but powerful whirlwind.

Sure, works for me.

Are we about done then?
