Converting Planescape monsters

[demiurge1138]

I'd boost Str to 13 as well.

Outsider, magical beast, or aberration?

 

[demiurge1138]

The Hounds of Tindalos are outsiders. So should these guys.

 

[freyar]

Agreed to that! They are tied to the ethical principle of angles.

 

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews.

 

[demiurge1138]

Pack rather than herd for the group name makes more sense.

5 ranks each in Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot and Craft (trapmaking)? Perhaps giving them a racial bonus to that last one.

Weapon Focus (claw) makes the most sense for their feat, but Improved Initiative would also be a possibility (or we could make that a bonus--they seem to be very good at ambushes).

 

[freyar]

No other particular SAs stand out, just a lot of flavor about their hunting tactics and the angle stuff. We should include a sidebar on the magic items. Maybe the claws can reduce the gp cost of making a weapon of speed by some amount (50%, some gp value)? As for the bit about material components, maybe a talon could be a power component that grants DR/bludgeoning when used with some spell. Mage armor actually seems more sensible than shield, though.

Edit: agreed with demiurge on the skills and feats, including the racial bonus on trapmaking. Let's also give them Imp Init as a bonus feat, given their speed.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

How about the use of grillig claws in the crafting of a speed weapon reduces the Base Price Modifier from +3 to +2?

I agree that mage armor makes more sense than shield for the other power component.

CR 2? That's alot of attacks and decent DR.

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to CR 2. I like the reduced cost for pricing speed weapons.

 

[freyar]

Agreed to all that.
