[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 2458698, member: 6533"] The conversion rules that deal with that that I have noted are: - If you are going to bring other kinds of spellcasters they should probably replace arcanists, though personally I think arcanists might be competitive just not as primary spell casters. - Monsters with such abilities should probably take on a different story role than normal. IH seems to want to use them with the elevated threat level that such abilities imply in a low magic world. The conversion rules say that while CR should still be the same having multiple encounters with such beasts in quick succession would be unbalancing. - For levels where creatures with appropriate CR are almost certain to have such abilities it recommends 'upping the die' on the frequency of rounds in which it can use such a weapon. The main issue seems to be that where saving throws are higher and you cannot fail on ones that still doesn't remove the chance that a couple of bad rounds in succession could take out the party before it could react.
