Omata, The Bringer Of The Rain And Rainbow

[Krishnath]

omata: I agree wholeheartedly, I just forgot to write it.

Knight Otu: That wouldn't be overpowered at all, as he is still affected normaly by all other spells, I think I would write it something like this:

Immunities: Omata is immune to electricity and prismatic spells.

If we need to give hime more immunities, we just add them to the list.

The fiend lords have an insight bonus to AC – anyone figured that out yet? Comes from Wisdom maybe?
Also, they do not have maximum HP.
Do you like him at huge size? I advanced him according to MM rules and a bit beyond that before making alterations from Serge’s template.
I decided not to make them DvR 0.

COMBAT
Like most couatls, Omata is not likely to attack without provocation.
Spells: Omata casts spells as a 20th-level sorcerer, except that he does not need material components. He can also cast spells from the cleric list and from the Air, Good, and Law domains as arcane spells.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will – detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect thoughts, invisibility, plane shift, polymorph self, rainbow pattern; 3/day - prismatic sphere, prismatic spray, and prismatic wall. These abilities are as the spells cast by a Xth-level sorcerer (save DC X + spell level)
Psionics: Omata can manifest any psionic power as a Xth-level psion.
Omata has access to all psionic attack and defense modes.
Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude save (DC 35); initial damage 2d4 temporary Strength, secondary damage 4d4 temporary Strength.
Constrict (Ex): Omata deals 4d6+18 points of damage with a successful grapple check against Gargantuan or smaller creatures. Often, Omata uses a stilled and quickened spell against other opponents while constricting a foe.
Summon Couatls (Sp): Once per day, Omata can automatically summon 1d4+2 couatls.
Telepathy (Su): Omata can communicate telepathically with any creature within 90 feet that has an Intelligence score of at least 1. The creature can respond to Omata if it wishes – no common language is needed.
Ethereal Jaunt (Su): This works like the spell as cast by a Xth-level sorcerer.
Water Breathing (Ex): Omata can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use his spells, psionics, and other abilities while submerged.
Outsider Traits: Omata has darkvision (60-foot range). He cannot be raised or resurrected.
Celestial Traits: Omata can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language. He is immune to electricity and petrification attacks, and he has cold resistance 20, acid resistance 20, and fire resistance 20. he receives a +4 racial bonus to Fortitude saves against poison.

 

[omata]

BOZ on great job but i think he would have Knowledge(psionics) instid of arcana

 

[Knight Otu]

And maybe Psicraft instead of Spellcraft...

 

[Krishnath]

Looks good so far Boz, some comments though.

It looks like you forgot the change in Str, Dex, Con and natural armor from his size change. (+8 str, -2 Dex, +4 Con, +3 natural armor.)
The damage from his bite should be 1d4+(str mod) due to his size increase, the damage die for the contriction attack should be 4d6+(str*1,5).
Also, you should implement some of the stuff I suggested a little farther up in this thread, such as DR, SR, Aditional Psionic and Spell-like Abilities (and Obscuring Mist at will, and Call Lightning 3/day to the suggested spell list.).
On the skill list add Psicraft.
As for feat ideas, here are a few: Flyby Attack, Alertness, and Quicken Spell-like Ability seems like good choices.

no, i did not. i applied those changes, then applied the further changes from Serge's template. if my math is off, let me know.

 

[Krishnath]

They are way, way, way off. The str should be at 26 before the changes from the template (18+8), Dex should be 14 before the template (16-2), and Con should be 18 before template (14+4), natural armor is correct though. But unless the template gives a negative modifier to str, you are way off. The damage should also be increased by one die.

They are way, way, way off.

that's not true. i have no idea where i got 20 for Str, but the rest of it looks right.

 

[Krishnath]

O.K. I admit it, you're not way off, just a little, something like 8 or so.

As for stat bonuses, I think a +6 or each of the stats should suffice. That brings him on par with some of the lesser fiendish lords.

 

[BOZ]

updated it. what do you all think now?
