Special Conversion Thread: Aboleths

I don't see at as too overpowering, considering many dragons and powerful outsiders can also select their sorcerer spells known from the cleric list and mulitple domains.

Congrats on your 100th post!

Granted, but the disciplined powers were made so due to their powerful nature. In 3.5, they split the most powerful powers in 3.0 into the disciplines. Now granted the Grand Aboleth is the end all be all in psionic bad asses, but, if you do this, the CR will need to reflect that no other Psion of equivalent HD would be able to stand up to it.

Fair enough!

Here are some suggestions for the 20 additional powers...

1st—burst;
2nd—clairvoyant sense;
3rd—hustle;
4th—quintessence, remote viewing;
5th—baleful teleport;
6th—null psionics field;
7th—fate of one;
8th—astral seed, hypercognition, mass time hop;
9th—time regression.
 

Bykov is back!

Let's just adjust the CR as we think is appropriate when it's all done.

Can't say I know all those powers, but they sound cool. I have to say, "astral seed" reminds me of Jack and the Beanstalk. :p
 

Astral seed is much cooler than that. ;) It allows you to begin growing your replacement on the Astral Plane in case you should perish. :cool:
 


OK, rounding out the list to 20...

1st—burst;
2nd—clairvoyant sense;
3rd—escape detection, hustle;
4th—quintessence, remote viewing, psionic modify memory, schism, thieving mindlink;
5th—baleful teleport, clairtangent hand, mind probe;
6th—null psionics field;
7th—fate of one, fission, reddopsi;
8th—astral seed, hypercognition, mass time hop;
9th—time regression.

Look OK?
 


Updated.

It looks like I had a couple of duplicates:

4th—thieving mindlink (replace with death urge?)
5th—mind probe (replace with ectoplasmic shambler?)
 


The aboleth does not have an effective biting attack because of the position of its mouth. If, for some reason, its opponent is immobilized, the aboleth may elect to consume its victim. If it chooses to do so, it receives but one biting attack per round...The grand aboleth never attacks in this way.

It looks like we can cut the Oversized Maw feat from the underbar. ;)

Feats: 14 (7 can be epic)

Spells: The grand aboleth casts spells as a 30th-level sorcerer.

Sorcerer Spells Known (6/9/9/8/8/8/8/7/7/7, save DC 20 + spell level):
0—arcane mark, dancing lights, detect magic, ghost sound, mage hand, prestidigitation, read magic, resistance, touch of fatigue;
1st—chill touch, color spray, mage armor, true strike, ventriloquism;
2nd—blur, daze monster, mirror image, misdirection, touch of idiocy;
3rd—dispel magic, dispacement, haste, rage;
4th—black tentacles, confusion, crushing despair, enervation;
5th—cloudkill, feeblemind, mind fog, waves of fatigue;
6th—control water, greater dispel magic, true seeing;
7th—finger of death, greater teleport, insanity;
8th—demand, mind blank, moment of prescience;
9th—foresight, power word kill, time stop.

How many Spell Knowledge feats would we like to take (adding two spells known each time)?
