After breeding true (in the case of the gargoyle), being spontaneously created (as the doll slaad), or being spawned by evil slaadi (as the mechanical), the creatures are flesh. The Construct Metamorphosis ability inverts to reflect their living nature.You know, I thought about that, but it made them too strong (except in the case of the doll slaad). They are slightly weak as slaadi (see the dolll golem's combat numbers), but the immunity to magic really takes them up a notch. Golems are strong at any Challenge Rating. Imagine a golem with spell-like abilities! I don't think I would want to be on the receiving end of that! Ideally, the slaadi saves the ability for when it is being subject to things that a construct would be immune to. Imagine the looks on your players faces when the rogue scores a sweet sneak attack one round, then can't do it next round because the slaad did some weird thing that made it immune!Rememeber that when you make a new creature, you balance against the NPCs presented in the Dungeon Master's Guide. The doll slaad came out too weak, so it got extra spell-like abilities to compensate. They are all on target for Challenge Ratings.One more thing. Take a look at the skills I chose for each one. I put some thought into what I gave them. The doll slaad can disable the defenses of its victims. The gargoyle slaad can hide and move silently so well, it could be the perfect murderer. The mechanical slaad has skill that allow it to stand on buildings and ledges and that sort of thing. Would make a great d20 Modern monster in that regard.Thoughts?</blockquote>
