Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kerrick" data-source="post: 4712071" data-attributes="member: 4722">Here are the hoary hunter and his steed. As with the gloom, I ran into the problem of them having far too many HD for their size/type. I think, though, that the designers gave them a crapload of class levels that somehow translated over to racial HD (not sure how that works, though). The gloom would thus be a monstrous humanoid with 25 rogue levels and no racial HD; the hoary hunter would have 20+ fighter levels and some racial HD (because fey always have racial HD); I'm thinking somewhere around 4-5 HD, and 30 or so levels of fighter. I could easily revise the stats to reflect that, but I wanted to get some input first.Hoary HunterMedium Fey (Cold)Hit Dice: 32d6+384 (496 hp)Initiative: +15Speed: 30 ft.

Instead, the victim is bodily transported as per a //trap the soul// spell heightened to 16th level (DC 30) into a diamond in the sword's hilt.  Spell-Like Abilities: At will — //discern location, true strike, fog cloud, hold monster, plane shift//; 3/day — //dimensional anchor, dominate monster, greater dispel magic//; 1/day — //disjunction, contingent recall and resurrection//*. Caster level 23rd; save DC 18 + spell level. *//Contingent recall and resurrection// is a variation on an epic spell. When slain, the hoary hunter is actually transported, with its mount, back to the fey realm, where it is resurrected. The only way to truly slay the hoary hunter is to defeat it in its home realm after this epic spell has been exhausted for the day.

A hoary steed cannot suppress this ability.  Misty Breath (Su): The breath of a hoary steed functions like a constant obscuring mist spell.</blockquote>
