Converting Psionic Creatures

Your update link went to the original monster stats....

And the working draft doesn't seem updated. But no problem. Ghoul's paralysis as adapted is good, but I'd add that immunity to poison (as well as paralysis) negates, since it's supposed to be a poison. Add in the PLAs, and I think we're done with special abilities, right?

Must have pasted in the wrong URL, I'll fix it.

Yup.

Skills and feats next, methinks.

4 in Spot, 5 in Listen?

Multiattack and Improved Initiative?

 

[Cleon]

Oh, and you reprobates wanted the Wallwalking to be (Ex), even though (Ps) is so much better. I'll change it, unamusing though it is.

 

[freyar]

Skills and feats sound right.

Boy, I was thinking they're a bit soft for CR 5, but they could almost be CR 6 if you compare to xill.... CR 5 will work.

Hmm, I've got Move Silently and Spot listed in the working draft, not Spot and Listen. Well I did base it on the Phase Spider.

How about giving it Move Silently 5, Spot 4 instead? It does sneak up to prey, after all.

Oh, and I'm now wondering about giving them Tremorsense 60 ft., like a Monstrous Spider or Scorpion.

Xill have Planewalk. A Wall-Walker can't pop out of thin air next to a victim and attack, then carry paralysed victims to another plane to devour. That makes them nasty foes for 6th level characters, who can't even cast dimensional anchor. Unless they can kill the xill in the 2 rounds it takes to fade away they'll lose a PC with little chance of recovery.

Oh, and Xill have a formidable 21 Spell Resistance, too...

I'm sticking to Challenge Rating 5 for the Wall-Walker.

 

[Shade]

I'll throw my support to Move Silently 5, Spot 4, tremorsense 60 ft., and CR 5.

Good point you made about the xill comparison, Shade, and those skill points seem all right to me.

 

[Cleon]

I'll throw my support to Move Silently 5, Spot 4, tremorsense 60 ft., and CR 5.

Looks pretty good. And, no, I wasn't saying they're quite as good as xill, just that they are also worth a somewhat boosted CR compared to some base stats.

So are we done with the stats and ready for the flavour?
