I believe I was negligent in posting thier original stat block earlier. Here it is:

Apparently, they should gain spell resistance if the original creature didn't have it. Also, look at the numbers for the organization! The HD line might suggest unholy toughness as well.

 

[freyar]

So let's scale the SR with HD. Unholy toughness is good, also.

I think the organization refers to the fact that the Unseelie Queen holds them in check in her court.

 

[Shade]

Good point on the org.

Updated.

 

[freyar]

Any other scaling abilities sound appealing?

 

[Shade]

The fear you suggested earlier could work. Maybe some perversion of typical fey traits and themes?

Blight, terrifying animals, putrifying water, and so forth?

 

[freyar]

Good idea! I particularly like blight, though I guess we have the animals covered with unnatural aura.

 

[demiurge1138]

Something like:

Blight (Su): An undead unseelie fey radiates an aura that kills all vegetation within 10 feet. Any creatures of the plant type within the aura must make a DC X Fortitude save or take 1d6 damage per 2 HD of the undead unseelie and be sickened for one minute

?

Or just the spell blight as an SLA?

 

[freyar]

I could see either the scaling Su or a list of SLAs that are added cumulatively with HD. Any preference?

 

[Shade]

I prefer the scaling Su...it seems odd to strip them of SLAs, then tack on new ones.

 

[freyar]

That makes sense.
