Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

[freyar]

The weapons do say they do x2 damage, so that sounds reasonable.

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to oversized weapon.

Updated.

Skills: 36
Fomorian has Listen +3, Move Silently +29, Spot +21

Demiurge pointed out upthread that they need Survival to go with Track. Additionally, it probably should have Concentration and maybe Spellcraft and/or Knowledge (arcana) to go along with its spellcasting.

Feats: 6
Fomorian has Alertness, Cleave, Great Cleave, Power Attack, Track

 

[demiurge1138]

Move Silently doesn't make much sense for me. How about 9 ranks each in Listen, Spot, Survival and Concentration?

 

[Shade]

Sounds pretty good. How about pilfering a few ranks from each for Use Magic Device. Maybe Concentration 8, Listen 7, Spot 7, Survival 8, Use Magic Device 6?

For the feats, I could see ditching Cleave and Great Cleave for more magically-focused feats.

 

[demiurge1138]

Good call on UMD. How about ditching Cleave and Great Cleave for Skill Focus (UMD) and Scribe Scroll? If we bumped their racial sorcerer casting to 3rd, we could give them Brew Potion instead, which I think fits better with their flavor.

 

[Shade]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

We can actually go with both Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion, as we have 1 feat leftover.

Updated.

If we're putting it at CL 3, I'd rather have Craft Wondrous Item than Scribe Scroll. I like the idea of them making little baubles out of shells, rocks or teeth, or cloaks of resistance made out of hides.

 

[freyar]

Agreed with wondrous items. We can put a few minor potions and items in the bag.

Spells:
0 - Resistance, Ghost Sounds, Mage Hand, Message, Detect Magic?
1 - Shield, Animate Rope, Ray of Enfeeblement?

I tried to pick a few that have good wondrous items associated.

 

[demiurge1138]

Sounds pretty good to me.

The hide armor should grant a +4 bonus, not a +3. Although we could drop the armor altogether, since they have racial casting. Do we want to give them studded leather and armored casting instead?
