Quickling

[Aspect of BOZ]

good call on the lesser confusion.

Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day - hypnotic pattern (DC 12+Cha), lesser confusion (DC 11+Cha), levitate, shatter (DC 12+Cha), ventriloquism (DC 11+Cha). Caster level Xth. The save DCs are Charisma-based.


Tom Costa just posted some conversions, among which was a quickling: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=172834
note the CR 5 and LA +9!

The SLAs look good.

I'm not surpised by the CR/LA. I was figuring a possible double-digit LA once all is said and done.

 

[BOZ]

i'm imagining ours won't be terribly far off from that!

now, i was thinking about ability scores. we've decided the Dex will be a minimum of 22. the Int would be around 15-16 based on old sources. i wouldn't feel the least bit bad if the other scores were low, because this little guy has so much going for him already. but they should at least be high enough to make sense without going over the top...

Looking at the elder redcap: Str 22, Dex 21, Con 22, Int 11, Wis 12, Cha 13, we could probably use the Wis and Cha for inspiration.

Str should probably be about comparable to a pixie (Str 7).

Con should range from 11-13, IMO.

 

[BOZ]

Str 7, Dex 22+, Con 12, Int 15-16, Wis 12, Cha 13? maybe Cha 14-15 to give it better spell DCs?

 

[Shade]

Cha 14 would be fine, but it probably will only use its SLAs as an afterthought.

 

[BOZ]

right, which is why i wouldn't want to make it higher than 14. i think Int 15 is best. how high do you want to go with the Dex?

 

[Shade]

Looking to another speedster, a cheetah is Dex 19. If we were to downsize a cheetah to Tiny, we'd get Dex 23. I'd say bump it up to 24-25 just for good measure to really emphasize its supernatural quickness.

 

[BOZ]

i can't drive 55, but a quickling will have a 25!

here's the final deal:
Abilities: Str 7, Dex 25, Con 12, Int 15, Wis 12, Cha 14

Looks good to me.

Demiurge out.
