Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the fey

Agreed to the Int boost to 7. Scare should be an SLA, I think. See in darkness is an obvious choice.

 

[freyar]

Yeah, agreed to all those suggestions.

 

[Shade]

Yeah, agreed to all those suggestions.

Including shadow blend?

 

[freyar]

Good question, we need to think how that would interact with the aura. How about darkness aura (as spell, with concealment), but shadow blend (total concealment) in areas with natural shadow?

The really low Int does seem a bit off...how about boosting it to at least 7? Even the brutish redcap has Int 11!

So is scare going to be an SLA, or a Su ability?

The darkness aura seems a no-brainer, but we might consider this as well...

Shadow Blend (Su): In any condition of illumination other than full daylight, a shadow mastiff can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability. A daylight spell, however, will.

Also, see in darkness like a devil?

Int 7 is fine by me.

I'd have gone for Scare as a Supernatural ability meself, but I have no objection to making it a SLA.

Shadow Blend is an ideal fit to how I imagine their hide-in-darkness works.

Good idea! I'll go along with that.

Re-reading it, it sounds like it can only use its "darkness aura" 2/day. Otherwise, it flees to natural shadows.

So how about just giving it deeper darkness (centered on self rather than an object) as a 2/day SLA, along with shadow blend?

 

[freyar]

That seems reasonable enough with a 2/day limit on the Su (or Sp?) darkness aura.

Updated.

Look OK so far?

Seems good so far.

1d3-2 is pretty weedy claw damage, maybe up it to 1d4-2?

I'm also thinking we could add ghost sound as an at-will so it can make spooky noises to its heart's content.

 

[Shade]

Agreed to all that.

Damage reduction 5/cold iron?
