Message: <blockquote data-quote="LordVyreth" data-source="post: 2139693" data-attributes="member: 9626">Okay, here we go.   Meet Xetich!  I had to make a few changes to the 3.5 mezzoloth and the half-machine template as I went.  For one thing, the half-machine template never got updated to 3.5, and it had a few weird rules I had to figure out or get into detail as well.  As for the mezzoloth, I never figured out how the four-clawed creature had the number of attacks the book gave it (and the illustration of the creature weilding the trident two-handed didn't help, either!)  Feel free to change anything you need.  I left the poison its new tail spike had blank so you can figure out an appropriately high-level one, and if you want to ditch the pun in her name, I'd understand.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Xetich HalfclockedAdvanced 24 HD Half-Machine Mezzoloth Yugoloth, 6th level fighterLarge Outsider (Evil, Extraplanar, Yugoloth)Hit Dice: 30d10 +300 (465 hp) Initiative: +6 (+4 Improved Initiative, +2 Dex)Speed: 40 ft.

She gains two additional dice of damage to the claws, tentacles, and tail spike, and one additional dice of damage to the bite.  Qualities: Her DR expands to include 10/magic, she gains a rust protection to counter a normal half machine’s rust vulnerability, she gains haste and greater invisibility as spell-like abilities, her fire, electricity, and cold resistance all increase by 10, its spell resistance increases by 10, and she gains the scent and shielded mind special qualities.  Shielded Mind (Su): Xetic’s mind has been protected by a specialized field that essentially makes her a construct when confronted with mind-affecting attacks.  This makes her immune to these attacks.</blockquote>
