[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5438019, member: 57383"] I'd keep the Dex 19 and not give them any NA so their AC matches the original. Air Sentinels are Man-Sized, not Large like a Djinn, so I'd reduce their Strength and Con. A "half size" reduction (-4 Str, -2 Con) should be plenty, giving them stats similar to a Jann. [B]Air Sentinel:[/B] Str 14, Dex 19, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 15, NA +0 I'd retool it to improved grab / constrict. What shall we do about their "mini-lightning" attack - 1d6 electrical damage, but melee touch or ranged touch? If ranged, what's the distance? Personally, I'd go for a shocking touch: [B]Shocking Touch (Ex):[/B] An air sentinel can release electrical arcs from its hands as a melee touch attack doing 1d6 electrical damage. [B]Constrict (Ex):[/B] An air sentinel's shocking touch does 3d6 electrical damage on a successful grapple check. In addition, the opponent must succeed at a DC X Fortitude save or be rendered unconscious for 1d8 rounds. I think we'd better increase the damage, maybe to 1d6+HD or even 1d8+HD?: [B] Shocking Touch (Ex):[/B] An air sentinel can release electrical arcs from its hands as a melee touch attack which does electrical damage equal to 1d6 plus the HD of the sentinel (1d6+5 electricity for a typical air sentinel). [B]Constrict (Ex):[/B] on a successful grapple check, an air sentinel's shocking touch does electrical damage equal to 3d6 plus 2 points per HD (3d6+10 for a typical air sentinel). In addition, the opponent must succeed at a DC X Fortitude save or be rendered unconscious for 1d8 rounds. [/QUOTE]
