Special Conversion Thread: Frogs n' Toads

The Int is also too high for an animal.

For stats, how about just taking the Toad stats and bumping Int to 5? Then we'd have

Str 1, Dex 12, Con 11, Int 5, Wis 14, Cha 4

Or bump up Cha if the gaze attack DC is based on that.

 

[Shade]

The stats look good, but lets bump the Cha to 10 since the gaze will indeed be Cha-based.

Added to Homebrews.

I put the stirge's attach and blood drain in there as placeholders.

 

[Mortis]

And adapting from the rast

Paralyzing Gaze (Su)
Paralysis for 2 rounds, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 10 negates. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Great!

Victims of the leech toads' gaze attack are immune to further paralyzation attempts for the next 12 hours, just as if they had originally made a successful save.

Expand this out to the usual 24 hour immunity?

With pitch-black skin, these creatures are difficult to see at night, when they are most likely to be encountered.

Additional bonus to Hide checks in areas of shadowy illumination or darkness?

Mortis's Paralyzing Gaze looks good, and the stirge's Attach doesn't need much more than cosmetic changes. Do we want Blood Drain to do Con or HP damage, though?

Yes & Yes.

 

[Shade]

I'd stick with Con damage, as that seems to be the standard.

Note the movement line lists "hop 6". Should we give it the +12 racial bonus on Jump checks common to giant toads?

Hide bonus in darkness/shadowy illumination improves to +12?

I vote for Con damage.

Yes. +8 in those areas?

 

[dhaga]

Or +12, as Shade posted right before me.
