[QUOTE="andargor, post: 1682450, member: 7231"] Here's my first try for a creature conversion. The Kakkuu and Raklupis Spider-Demons. I have the Word document versions, if they are required.

Saves: Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +4 Abilities: Str 12, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 4, Wis 11, Cha 11 Skills: Climb +7, Hide +15, Listen +6, Move Silently +7, Spot +6 Feats: Weapon Finesse Environment: Any land and underground Organization: Pack (2-5), swarm (6-11), or mob (10-20) Challenge Rating: 7 Treasure: None Alignment: Always chaotic evil Advancement: 5-7 HD (Medium-size); 8-12 HD (Large) Level Adjustment: -- The kakkuu are the weakest and least intelligent of the spider-demons. They are very animalistic and behave much like ordinary giant spiders. Most other spider-demons use the kakkuu to do their bidding. They appear as 5-foot long spiders with bloated bodies and mangy, filthy wolf heads. They communicate with each other using a series of snarls, barks, and growls, or telepathy. COMBAT A favorite tactic of a kakkuu is to lie in wait on a ledge or outcropping waiting for its foe to pass underneath. When its opponent comes into range, it drops a sticky strand of webbing attempting to catch the creature and reel it in where it can bite and inject its poison. Spell-Like Abilities: At will-darkness (DC 14), scare (DC 14), telekinesis (DC 17), and greater teleport (DC 19) (self plus 50 pounds of objects only). These abilities are as the spells cast by a 4th-level caster. Save DCs are Charisma-based. Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude save (DC 13); initial and secondary damage 1d6 temporary Strength.

The DC for evading or breaking free from the webs is 17, and there is a 75% chance that the webbing won't burn if any sort of fire is applied to it (check each round). The save DC is Constitution-based. The kakkuu can perform one of the following special tactics with its webs once per round. Sticky Glob: A kakkuu can create an adhesive glob of silk about the size of a human fist. The creature will usually perch on a ledge and lower this glob to a range of 50 feet, swinging it as a pendulum. When a creature is hit (or touches the glob) it becomes stuck to the strand and the kakkuu reels in its prey at the rate of 20 feet per round. A strand is strong enough to hold the kakkuu and one creature of the same size. Summon Demons (Sp): Once per day a kakkuu can attempt to summon 1d8 kakkuu with a 35% chance of success. Skills: The kakkuu's coloration gives it a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks. The Kakkuu Spyder-Fiend first appeared in the Rod of Seven Parts Boxed Set (Skip Williams, 1996). RAKLUPIS (Spider Demon) Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil) Hit Dice: 12d8+36 (90 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 40 ft.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will-alter self, darkness, fear (DC 23), scare (DC 21), telekinesis (DC 24), and greater teleport (DC 26) (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); 3/day-invisibility, mirror image, shapechange, and unholy blight (DC 23). These abilities are as the spells cast by a 12th-level caster. Save DCs are Charisma-based. Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude save (DC 19); initial and secondary damage 2d6 temporary Strength.

Entangle: Cone, 30 feet, as the entangle spell cast by a 12th-level caster (save DC 20). Sticky Glob: A raklupis can create an adhesive glob of silk about the size of a human fist. The creature will usually perch on a ledge and lower this glob to a range of 50 feet, swinging it as a pendulum. When a creature is hit (or touches the glob) it becomes stuck to the strand and the raklupis reels in its prey at the rate of 20 feet per round. A strand is strong enough to hold the raklupis and one creature of the same size. Fear Glob: A raklupis can fire a small glob of sticky webbing up to 30 feet away. Any creature hit by this globe must make a successful Will save (DC 23) or flee in terror for 1d6 rounds.
