Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

[Shade]

I like the lightning bolt...I was just distracted by the other issues before addressing it.

Agreed to the lightning bolt and the smaller creature's seperate statblock.

Ok, let's finish the main monster and write the mini versions by using Paizo's young template (or some similar template from somewhere) with whatever tweaks are necessary.

 

[Shade]

One reason to reconsider the lightning bolt: the next one (the undead storm giant) is all about lightning.

Wanna fall back on your earlier suggestion of fog cloud/acid cloud, or maybe work in ice storm or other weather-related effects?

 

[freyar]

A very good point. What if their bodies in cloud form normally have the properties of a fog cloud but can take on the properties of solid fog or stinking cloud X rounds per day, with also the possibility of an ice storm-like effect in the cloud 1/day or something?

 

[Shade]

I like that! Its reminscent of a swarm/engulf attack.

 

[demiurge1138]

Yeah! Engulfing solid fog! I like!

 

[freyar]

Engulf is just the right way to describe this! So we want solid fog, any other options?

 

[Shade]

Cold damage while trapped within it?

 

[freyar]

Sure, solid fog with cold it is! Variation on engulf, then?
