Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 1622772" data-attributes="member: 13966">Plate Sentinel: I agree with The Jester's CR assessment, a CR 5 is probably just about right given it's attack bonuses, armor class, big grapple bonus, and psionic/magic immunity. I'd recommend reducing the Dexterity by 4 points and thus lower the AC by 2; if the Plate Sentinel's body appears to be like a close-fitting suit of full plate, why is it able to move so agilely? If all its joints are flexible enough to allow the full range of movement for an 18 Dexterity, there's no way they're covered in armor plates sufficiently enough to protect them. And if they're covered in a tight sheathe of many small overlapping plates, then there's no way they could allow the range of movement for an 18 Dex. Unless the Plate Sentinel's armor-plates are individually bending and flexing like malleable flesh, it couldn't be so nimble with such complete armor cover. That would be mighty powerful magic to waste on building a meager 6-HD construct with physical capabilities no greater than a talented man. If you don't reduce the Dex, then at least change the description to remove the mention of plate-covered joints and reduce the Plate Sentinel's natural armor bonus to AC by 3 points. Psionic Screamer: These are inspired by The Shadow's storyhour, aren't they? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   Seems like a CR 1 to me, as it can't really do harm and can be taken out easily enough with adamantine or deep crystal ranged weapons.  It would probably be worth a CR 2 though in circumstances where its disruptive abilities help other enemies.</blockquote>
