[QUOTE="Geoff Watson, post: 506761, member: 1001"] It wouldn't be hard to make a Bodak template, I've done it for ghouls, ghasts and mohrgs. Just take the difference between the undead and an average human. Bodak Template: Type: Change to undead. Size: Same Hit Dice: +8 HD Change to D12s Speed: reduce by a third AC: increase Natural Armour by 3 Attacks: Gain a Slam attack if it doesn't have any (Base damage 1d8 for Medium size) Face/Reach: As original creature Special Attacks: Add Death gaze (save DC 10 + 1/2HD + Cha mod) Special Qualities: Gain DR 15/silver, fire and acid resistance 20, electricity immunity, sunlight vulnerability, flashbacks. Ability mods: Str +2, Dex +4, Con -, Int -4, Wis +2, Cha +2. Bodak Pigeon (used Raven as base stats) Tiny Undead HD 8d12 (52) Initiative: +8 Speed 5' (fly 30') AC 19 (+2 size, +4 dex, +3 natural armour) Attacks: Claws +10 Damage: 1d2-4 Face/Reach: 2.5 by 2.5/0 Special Attacks: Death Gaze (Save DC 13) Special Qualities: DR 15/silver, fire and acid resistance 20, electricity immunity, sunlight vulnerability, flashbacks. Saves: Fort +2, Ref +6, Will +9 Abilities: Str 3, Dex 19, Con -, Int 1, Wis 16, Cha 8 Skills: Spot +7, Listen +7. Feats: Weapon Finesse (claws), Improved Initiative. Maybe it should only have 2HD (about a quarter of a normal Bodak since a raven has a quarter of a normal human). That would drop it's hit points to 13, it's attack bonus to +7, it's death gaze DC to 10, and it's saves to +1/+5/+6. Geoff. [/QUOTE]
