Special Conversion Thread: Tasked Genies

[Shade]

Agreed. Boost to 16th, or higher?

Added to Homebrews. I retained some of the efreet's abilities...we can debate 'em.

CL 16 is probably ok.

Is the scorching ray supposed to represent the burning hands attack, based on the efreet?

I'm thinking it's meant to represent the two "stream of white fire" attacks the Oathbinder has.

The Oathbinder's Intelligence is one step lower than an AD&D Efreeti (Average instead of Very).

Shall we lower the Oathbinder's Int and increase its Cha and maybe Wisdom?

 

[freyar]

Sounds fair on the Int. I'll agree to increasing Wis (for Sense Motive), but what's the reason for Cha? Just DCs?

That and they are respected and obeyed by other Genies, at least as far as Oaths are concerned.

It's a direct lift from the 3.5 efreet, but yeah, Cleon's explanation cements keeping it around.

That makes sense to me.

Plus, I'm sure it takes some serious "sense of self" to punish other genies.

Str 23, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 17, Cha 17 (or even 19)?

How about splitting the difference to make the Charisma 18?

Oathbinder Genie: Str 23, Dex 17, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 17, Cha 18

 

[Shade]

That'll do. Updated.

 

[Cleon]

That'll do. Updated.

I fancy increasing the fire bonus damage on their slam attacks, since the original did 4d6 fire.

Here's an idea, how about its "magic fire" that does damage to oathbreakers, ignoring immunity or resistance to fire.

 

[freyar]

Ok, looking good. Seems like we'll need an "oathbinding" ability and a "soul-grabbing" ability (no raising, etc, without appeasing the genie or something first). You guys agree?

EDIT: I can get behind extra damage vs oathbreakers. Sure.
