[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5004137, member: 57383"] The flavour text would indicate they have the Extraplanar subtype (escapees from the Lower planes, to which they return when destroyed). Apart from that, the stats look good so far. I'd be tempted to have the damage act as healing up to their original hit points, then as temporary HP for any excess, plus a max hit point cap. I'm also a bit dubious about it being an Extraordinary attack, Supernatural seems more appropriate. Something like:[INDENT][COLOR=Red][B]Blood Feast (Su):[/B] A skotos absorbs life-force through the blood it sheds. On each successful attack, the skotos gains hit points equal to the damage dealt. If its hit points exceed its original hit points, the excess become temporary hit points. the skotos can not use Blood Feast to increase its total hit points by more than 5 temporary hit points per Hit Dice - e.g. a [/COLOR][COLOR=Red]skotos with [/COLOR][COLOR=Red]20 hp and 5 HD can gain a maximum of 45 hit points (20 plus 5 times 5) using Blood Feast.
