Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5156156" data-attributes="member: 57383">It was Shade who proposed them, I was just agreeing.I'm not that bothered either way, so I'll leave it to Shade to decide whether to go "attacker only" or "all enemies within Space/Reach". I think the latter is a better match to the original description, but the former has some advantages balance-wise.Would the name "Retributive Strike" suit you better?Revising...Retributive Strike (Su): Whenever a gray unicorn is  struck by a melee attack (including melee touch delivered spells) [the  attacker]OR[all enemies within the unicorn's Space or Reach] must succeed at a DC 18 Fortitude save or take damage equal to  that inflicted upon the unicorn. The damage dealt to the attacker is not  subject  to negation or reduction because of resistance, immunity,  damage  reduction, spell resistance, or the like. The save DC is Charisma-based.There isn't that much else to do for these chaps.Cut down its Speed - It has Move 18 instead of the standard AD&D unicorn's 24. Speed 50 ft. would do it for me.Add a few points of Spell Resistance - 10% magic resistance suggests something like SR13. Call it CR+10?Change Alignment to Neutral.Change Environment to Warm Plains.Change Organization to Solitary, pair, or grace (3-10).It's got one less Hit Dice, so we need to recalculate the SRD unicorn's  stats that derive from it, which means we must decide which skills to  knock the 2 fewer ranks off. I'd take them both off Jump, which would  bring them down to Jump +15 assuming we give them Speed 50 ft.Lastly is the question of Challenge Rating. I feel their SR and Retributive Strike are enough to compensate for having one fewer HD, so I'd keep them CR3.</blockquote>
