Special Conversion Thread: Sheens

[demiurge1138]

Yeah, maybe a boost to 10 or 11 would be reasonable.

Augmented critical for the spinning blade mandibles, certainly. It could take Improved Critical as normal for the arm blades.

Added to Homebrews.

Does this one actually have electrical charges like the rest?

 

[Shade]

Yes, but not worth tracking, because...

renders contain an internal energy source good for several years of activity, at a minimum

SA – Electrical Discharge. See similar SA for walker; renders can use this ability 5/day without depleting a render’s energy.
SD – Grade 3 defensive field. See similar SD for walker; defensive fields drain 3 hit points per physical attack. The render’s self-contained energy source allows the field to reamin up continuously without recharge.

Looks good. Let's drop the reference to charges or say they are effectively limitless or something.

Breath weapon: 60 ft cone, every X rounds up to 3x/day, damage 8d10 electricity plus 8d0 fire, Reflex DC X half. The save DC is Constitution-based.

I figured it's plasma, so I converted half the damage to electricity. Sound right?

 

[demiurge1138]

Sounds right to me.

1d4 rounds between?

Sounds good. Let's just give it a different name, since it isn't really a breath weapon. "Plasma spray"? "Plasma burst"? "Plasma blast?"

 

[freyar]

I kind of like plasma spray.

I just noticed that electrical discharge needs an edit, since they don't have slams. Also, shouldn't hitting a charged sheen with a natural weapon also affect you? (And do we need to edit other sheens?)

I saw over the weekend that the CC has 3e versions of the sheens, too. Are they worth looking at? Edit: never mind, I see you mentioned that in the first post.

 

[Shade]

I'm fine either way on the natural attacks triggering electricity damage.
