Ethereal Flicher

[kolikeos]

From the MM 3.5

It can remain on the Ethereal Plane for 1 round before returning to the Material Plane

It can stay on the Ethereal for ONLY one round?

Yeah. It doesn't really seem to match the flavour text.

-Hyp.

When I used the monsters IMC, I switched the ability, so that

Ethereal Jaunt (Su): An ethereal filcher can shift from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane as part of any move action, and shift back again as a free action. It can remain on the Ethereal Material Plane for 1 round before returning to the Material Ethereal Plane.

That made more sense, IMHO. It also gave it the (Extraplanar) sub-type, and increased its CR.

The PCs hated it. Its tactics meant they had to catch it on the Material plane, and they had to trick it into coming by laying out some tempting bait while they lay hidden. ...which meant they had to figure out what would be tempting bait.

A fun encounter, after it was all over!
