[QUOTE="Dave Blewer, post: 431846, member: 4972"] Hi, Here is my first attempt at Fog Sharks. Elemental Horrors suitable for any airborne campaign (such as my own Sundered Sky campaign). I am particularly unsure about the Challenge Rating... Working it out using the system given in Dragon (Oct 2000) but that really didn't seem to work, so I guesstimated it instead. ============================================== Fog Sharks Medium Outsiders Hit Dice: 3d8 +3 (16) Initiative +5 (Dex) Speed: Fly 100ft AC: 18 (+5 Dex, +3 natural) Attacks: Bite +8 Melee Damage: Bite 1d6+1 Face/Reach: 5ft by 5ft/5ft Special Attacks: Air Mastery, Improved Grab, Keel Rip Special Qualities: Create Fog, Tremorsense Saves: Fort +4, Ref +8, Will +4 Abilities: Str 13, Dex 21, Con 13, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 2 Skills: Hide +9, Move Silently +14, Spot +5, Feats: Weapon finesse (Bite) Climate/Terrain: Any ariel (fog banks) Organisation: Solitary, school (2-5), or pack (6-11) Challenge Rating: 3 Treasure: None Alignment: Usually Neutral Advancement: 4-6 HD (Medium), 7-10 HD (Large), 11-17 HD (Huge) Fog Sharks appear to be fish like creatures whose grey, almost translucent skin blends perfectly with the mists and fogs within which they dwell.
