Return of Creature by Poll - The Creature thus Far

[BOZ]

either works for me.

 

[Conaill]

I'd prefer the second:

Str 15, Dex 27, Con —, Int 18, Wis 16, Cha 19

 

[demiurge1138]

The second looks better to me, too. Should this be a poll?

Demiurge out.

 

[BOZ]

i don't see why - the second one is just fine.

 

[Shade]

I was looking for poll options...but since everyone likes the second option, it's unnecessary.

Updating with these ability scores.

Str in swarm form is also needed, I think. 1? 3?

A few comments on correctness, and danger level of the creature:

Precise Strike (Ex): A drenkari can strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, gaining an extra xd6 damage added to its normal damage roll.

When making a precise strike, a duelist cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield. A duelist’s precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike.

The duelists here need to become drenkaris

In its coalesced form, a drenkari is treated as a Large construct with a space/reach of 10 feet/10 feet. It loses its +8 size bonus to Armor Class and attack rolls, but gains a +X natural armor bonus from

+4 size bonus. Also note that it gets a -1 size penalty to AC and attack rolls.

As a swarm of Diminutive creatures, it retains its immunity to weapon damage.

Uh-Oh. (Just a general comment. This guy won't go down easily.)

It loses its land speed, but gains a fly speed of X feet (X maneuverability).

The other way round, I think.

 

[BOZ]

i can see why we'd keep the weapon immunity - it may look soild, but it is still just a (more compressed) swarm of smaller creatures constantly moving about.

As I said, I don't want to get rid of it. It's just something to really keep in mind.

I think 1 should suffice.

The hazards of cut n' paste. Will fix.

+4 size bonus. Also note that it gets a -1 size penalty to AC and attack rolls.

Will do.

Uh-Oh. (Just a general comment. This guy won't go down easily.)

Yeah, it's damn scary.

The other way round, I think.

Cut n' paste strikes again. I'll correct it.

 

[Knight Otu]

Yeah, it's damn scary.

Especially once you consider that, what little damage actually is dealt, will be fast-healed.
