[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5486929, member: 57383"] Okay, shall we talk Spell-Like Abilities then? I'm thinking their SLAs should be somewhere around a Jann's as far as power goes, but the spells themselves may resemble a Herdsman Tasked Genie: [I][B]Herdsman Spell-Like Abilities:[/B][/I] 1/day—[I]flame blade[/I], [I]phantom steed[/I], [I]remove fear[/I], [I]unseen servant[/I]. Caster level 9th. The save DCs are Charisma-based. [I][B]Jann Spell-Like Abilities:[/B][/I] 3/day—[I]invisibility [/I](self only), [I]speak with animals[/I]. Caster level 12th. Once per day a janni can [I]create food and water[/I] (caster level 7th) and can use [I]ethereal jaunt[/I] (caster level 12th) for 1 hour. The save DCs are Charisma-based. The Herdsman's [I]flame blade[/I] and the Jann's [I]invisibility[/I] (self only) and [I]speak with animals[/I] seem good fits. We can add a couple more "Hunter specific" ones. A [I]locate creature[/I] would be an obvious pick. How about [I]snare[/I] and [I]hide from animal[/I]? Hmm, that's too many - the Jann and Herdsman only have 4 SLAs. I'll cut the [I]flame blade[/I], which gives us something like this: [I][B]Hunter Spell-Like Abilities:[/B][/I] 3/day—[I]hide from animal[/I]s, [I]snare[/I], [I]speak with animals[/I] (caster level 9th). Once per day a shikari genie can turn [I]invisible[/I] (caster level 12th) and use [I]locate creature[/I] (caster level 12th) for 4 hours. The save DCs are Charisma-based. [/QUOTE]
