Special Conversion Thread: Aboleths

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews.

I have not yet modified the psionics or psi-like abilities from those of the greater aboleth, nor have I toned down the enslave back to that of the standard aboleth.

Is Psionic Meditation worth it for the greater aboleth as a replacement feat? I'm not sure if there's something for them to use psionic focus with. Otherwise, maybe Autonomous? Also, can the nonpsionic greater aboleth technically qualify for Force of Will?

I like magitech for the regular noble, psitech in the psionic version, and scitech in an underbar.

I was thinking either Narrow Mind or Psionic Meditation opening it up to feats that allow it to use psionic focus effectively, like Psionic Fist and Psionic Endowment

A non-psionic aboleth, by the rules would qualify for Force of Will, but flavor wise it would be a bit contradictory.

[Shade] Also, Spell Penetration should be Power Penetration.

Hmmm...How about...

Standard Greater Aboleth Feats: Alertness, Combat Casting, Iron Will, Rapid Metabolism, Spell Penetration

Psionic Greater Aboleth Feats: Alertness, Combat Manifestation, Iron Will, Power Penetration, Psionic Meditation

 

[freyar]

Those feats work for me.

 

[bykov]

Same here.

Updated greater aboleth.

Back to noble aboleth...

I like magitech for the regular noble, psitech in the psionic version, and scitech in an underbar.

Sounds reasonable.

Nobles have enslavement abilities equal to those of common aboleth and secrete slime in a 3’ radius.

Simply change mucus cloud to 3-foot-thick?

They possess the ability to cast spectral force spells at will, once per round. Noble aboleth have very powerful psionic abilities and can use the disciplines of body equilibrium, cell adjustment, ESP, body control, and probability travel. All of these disciplines are performed at a level of mastery equal to the aboleth’s hit dice.

Should we tack these onto standard aboleth psionics/psi-like abilities, greater aboleth abilities, or give 'em just these?

 

[freyar]

3 ft mucus cloud (isn't this equivalent to a feat from LoM maybe?).

Tack them onto greater aboleths sounds best to me.

Agreed to the addition of SLAs to the greater aboleth list.

Updated. (Wow, those psionic powers with augmentations take forever).
