Special Conversion Thread: Moldvay's Undead

Updated.

Skills: 10 at 12 ranks
Concentration, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (the planes), Listen, Spellcraft, Spot...

Feats: 4
Spell Focus (Necromancy)?

Hide, Intimidate, Move Silently, Sense Motive? Or maybe Survival instead of Sense Motive, if they are sent to track down victims (in which case we may need to change the feats below).

Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy), Stand Still, Power Attack?

 

[Shade]

I can go either way on Survival/Track. It doesn't specifiy whether they harvest specific souls, or simply acquire as many as they can. Since the rest of your feat selection is such a good fit, I'm inclined to just skip Survival/Track.

Works for me.

I don't mind leaving out the Survival/Track since the original text places no emphasis on the hunting down a particular victim.

We're getting pretty close to finishing these, they're going faster than I thought they would.

Challenge Rating: 11? They are definitely superior to 9th-level human clerics, and seem comparable to the CR 11 hezrou.

Treasure: Standard (includes combat gear)?

Advancement: 10-18 HD (Medium): 19-27 HD (Large) or by character class (cleric)? This would allow for charuntes presumably created from giant clerics and other large humanoids, and allows for flexibility with caster level by stacking cleric levels.

A charuntes stands 5 to 6 feet tall and weighs 125 to 200 pounds?

Charuntes speak Abyssal, Common, and Infernal?

 

[freyar]

That all strikes me as quite reasonable. I might add Undercommon to the languages as well.

That all looks good, and I agree with Freyar on the Undercommon.

Anything left besides flavor text?

Looks like that's it.
