She was a 5th-level earth cleric, multiclassed as a 5th-level fighter.The end of the book contained an adventure, and suggested either using her (and two other thri-kreen characters) as pre-generated PCs, or using them as NPCs. (The authors assumed the PCs would all be thri-kreen, which would have been kind of odd given the race/class restrictions.)Anyway, I statted her up, using some rules for the Animist Shaman and the Elemental Priest theme. Unfortunately, she doesn't fit onto a 4 x 6 inch card. I also wonder if she has too many abilities for a heroic tier monster. This is in part because I wanted to make her "true" to being a thri-kreen.She's 6th-level because:1) When converting a 2e multiclassed character, you take the highest level (in this case 5th) and add 1/3rd of each additional class' levels, rounding down (so +1, adding up to 6).2) The typical thri-kreen IMC is a 6th-level skirmisher, and I wanted her to be as powerful.Sa'Relka, thri-kreen earth shamanLevel 6 controller (leader), 250 XPHP 69 (bloodied 34)AC 20; Fort 18, Ref 17, Will 19Initiative +5Perception +7, low-light visionImmune sleepSpeed 7TraitsDeft Dodger: Sa'Relka gains a +2 bonus to AC against ranged attacks.Standard ActionsGythka Attack: +10 vs AC.
