Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the fey

[freyar]

Agreed to giving it a club. It can stand in for the ripped-up tree. Speaking of, does it need some ability to negate nonproficiency penalties?

demiurge's feats look good. Which spells should we extend and which spells drop?

I can see the rationale for wild empathy. That would be nicer than just a "no animals attack" SQ.

I don't see why. Fey are proficient in simple weapons, which includes club and quarterstaff, and we can always add a Greatclub ("Treetrunk") to the attack line to give it automatic proficiency in that, too.

Well, my thought was that the tree trunk would be an improvised weapon by RAW, even if it is really a club.

Oh right, do you mean something like.

Weaponise Timber (Ex): As a move-equivalent action a Leshy can tear off a branch or uproot a small tree and convert it into a club, quarterstaff or greatclub. The Leshy can wield this crude weapon proficiently, but other creatures treat is as an improvised weapon.

That would work, and it also nicely tells us how long the process takes.

Let us drop sleet storm for an extended barkskin and stoneskin for extended command plants? Also, shouldn't it be "tree stride", not "strike"?

Seconded on all that.

Updated.

I'm not feeling the quarterstaff as an improvised weapon option, but the club and greatclub sound good.

Environment: Temperate forests?

Challenge Rating: x

Treasure: x (Mx10 is equal to 30-80 gp)

Advancement: 9-24 HD (Medium)?

A leshy is 5 to 6 feet tall in its natural form and weighs x pounds.

 

[freyar]

Looks pretty good there.

Agreed to your suggestions. CR 5? 1/2 coins, no goods, no items? 100-200 lb?

Up in flavor, should we say that the "replacement" leshy takes a few days to form, just to let PCs that kill one get away?

 

[demiurge1138]

CR 5? No way. I'd say CR 8-10. Somewhere in there--it's sort of fragile, but it's a powerful caster, has DR 10 and the size change is pretty nasty.
