[QUOTE="zeo_evil, post: 1296798, member: 11766"] [b]Okay?[/b] They where meant to be the Ravenloft slaadi somebody (?) asked for. I didn't want to do all of them, so I focused on the most interesting. They are all slaadi bound to a physical object, like a gargoyle, doll and and metal waste, in the case of the mechanical slaad. In that regard they are golem-like. They are essentially living constructs who can "change shape" or "alter self" like so many other slaad can. Instead the morph into a construct. The menchanical can shage shape to give itself hands if it needs them. The immunity to magic comes from their golem-like nature. Once they became a true species, the ability became pemanent (see the gargoyle slaad's text). Consider them a sub-slaad species, then. The spells reflect their nature. You would use lawful spells against a chaotic creature, right? So those spells interact with the slaadi in the same way similar spells interact with a golem. In all honesty, I don't even do flavor text for creatures I create at home. I do it for you guys to explain what I am thinking. I know what I am thinking, but you can't read my mind. I still do descriptions, though. Besides, I thought I was being original.Tell me the antimagic slaad doesn't rule! Oh. None of my stuff is "template" work. All done by hand,thank you very much.
