Okay, while working on other stuff, I've been looking at the Nightmare.

The SRD version isn't going to be possible.


There is no way for me to balance getting two ninth level SLAs, especially one as broken as Astral Projection within five levels, especially ever having them be at-will. I...I just have no idea what WoTC was on when they thought that was a good idea. Traditional "Whatever it is, I'll take two of 'em" joke.

I'm going to end up doing what Hyudra did with the Frost Giant. I'm going to look at old legends about the creature, and make the creature based off of those instead of just what's in the SRD.
