Special Conversion Thread: Sheens

Sure. Let's do the +50% damage.

Looking through the living construct traits, I see a few problems...

Unlike other constructs, a living construct is not immune to mind-influencing effects.

Unlike other constructs, living constructs are subject to critical hits, effects requiring a Fort save, death from massive damage, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, and death effects or necromancy effects.

Sheens are "immune to all mind-affecting spells, spells that affect life force..."


So...do we make 'em living constructs and note the exceptions, or make them standard constructs and note the exceptions?

Works for me.

 

[Shade]

Fair enough.

Stick with the listed ability scores for the walker, but increase Cha to 1?

 

[demiurge1138]

Sure! Poor guys, though. Str and Dex of 9? We're looking at fractional CRs here.

 

[Shade]

Yeah, for miners you'd think they'd at least not have a penalty. Hmmm....

 

[freyar]

Missed part of that conversation...

Seems like the miners just use their plasma shovels and don't need much Str. You'd think they'd want better Dex to aim, but I guess they're not so good at that, either. We should list what happens to a character that gets in the way of a plasma shovel.

I agree that miners should get a better Dexterity score. Plasma shovel based on flame blade, but typeless and ignores up to 10 points of hardness?

Sure! And 30 ft long...

Dex 12?
