Special Conversion Thread: Supernatural Familiars

OK, some of it looks pretty straightforward.

Speed 20 ft., fly 70 ft.?

Shapechange to stirge, Tiny viper, weasel or a Fine sized fly (+8 size, +2 Dex = AC20?).

Attach and Blood Drain can just copy a Stirge's special attacks.

The blinding poison is a bit odd, with it only blinding a particular creature once per encounter. Maybe supernatural not extraordinary?

Phantasmal force once per day equals major image 1/day.

I think your suggestions are about right, but I don't know if we need to worry about that restriction on the poison. I'm really not fond of "per encounter" mechanics.

Thri-kreen get an x/day poison--I'd rather these guys did the same.

 

[freyar]

That's a reasonable idea.

That said, both the quasit and imp have the same Dex damage poison, which we could also just use. That would slot these in well.

 

[Shade]

Yugoloths use silver as DR special material in the rare instances where its something beyond simply x/good.

Added to Homebrews using a blending of the imp's and quasit's stats.

I'd favor sticking with standard (unlimited use) poison, with short-term blindness. Does that seem problematic?

 

[freyar]

That all seems fine to me, including normal poison.

 

[Shade]

Does the 1d6+6 rounds seem reasonable, compared to the imp's and quasit's 1d4 Dex/2d4 Dex? Maybe break it into 1d6 rounds initial, 1d6 secondary?

 

[demiurge1138]

How about 1d4 rounds of blindness initial and secondary? Also, shouldn't that DR be 5/good or silver, not and?

 

[Shade]

Indeed!

Updated.

Dex in horsefly form?

+12 racial bonus on grapple checks (like a stirge)?

Skills: 8 at 6 ranks
Bluff, Hide, Knowledge (any one), Listen, Move Silently, Search, Spellcraft, Spot?

Feats: Weapon Finesse, 1 more (Imps have Dodge, quasits have Imp. Init)

 

[freyar]

Uhh, 20-25?

+12 grapple, suggested skills look good.

For the feat, I'd like a third option, but there's nothing much available. We could do Ability Focus (poison), that that might make them a little too tough. What do you think?
