[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4334751, member: 61182"] [INDENT]FYI: ENWorld have added a forum folder into the URL so: [url]http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4332432&postcount=391[/url] Has become: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?p=4332432&postcount=391[/url] I'm not sure if this is a permanant thing - the links might work again at the end of the update. But it means that pretty much all Creature Catalogue links are broken (and [B]might[/B] stay broken). vBulletin has a tag for linking from one thread to another thread (rather than using a hyperlink). I'm not sure if ENWorld have installed that tag on these forums, but it might be worth asking a moderator/admin if it is available here.[/INDENT] That aside, I think you have pretty much got the stuff this creature uses on Limbo. What is left seems to include: [LIST] [*]the creation of the new Aruchai from the dead body (how long it takes for the new creature to come to life), [*]the ability to jump from Limbo to the home plane of the victim and [*]the transformation process on the home plane of the victim. [/LIST] As the victim is already dead, I think it would be more interesting if the new aruchai sprouted from their remains very quickly (i.e. instantly, X combat rounds or X dX combat rounds). This would keep the transformation within the same encounter and add to the excitement. I'd say the same for the aruchai phasing out and hopping off to its hijacked homeplane. I don't know if we want it to fade out or wink out, but it should be something the PCs can see. Maybe the text could even make it obvious where it is going. i.e. something like: [INDENT]"Planehop (Su): A beam of eerie light surrounds the aruchai as it starts to excrete a molten bubbling mass that was once its victim. Anyone looking into the creature can see another plane on the opposite side of the creature. Anyone succeeding on a (spot?) check can make out details of the victim's birthplace. The DC for this check is X. After X rounds the original aruchai vanishes in a flash of light."[/INDENT] This suggested text is a mess, but hopefully it gets across what I'm getting at. You might not want to go with the flash. (It already has enough flashy abilities! :p ) Maybe one of you knows of another creature that "planehops" in front of people. [/QUOTE]
