I need a CR 12 Monstrous Humanoid with swim and fly speeds (at least good maneuverability) and the ability to breathe underwater. Preferably something that can be of any alignment, but anything that isn't forced into good or evil is fine.

It should be Large, but doesn't absolutely have to be. Spell Resistance and at-will Dispel Magic are a must.

It should have decent-high Charisma, with any applicable abilities being Charisma-based.

[Debihuman]

C. 921

If it doesn't need to breathe, you are looking at either a Construct or an Elemental since you specifically said that you didn't want an Undead. Do you have a preference?

I have the idea of a Spume Elemental (polluted water meets air idea) as it could both swim and fly. I'm re-skinning an Air elemental to give it a swim speed and adding SR and dispel magic as you'd like. Shouldn't be too hard but I may not have it for a couple of days.

I think that would be a template rather than a Prestige Class.

Debby

Still, i'd think it could work as an actual PrC.

C. 921

Right. Didn't think about that. Not needing to breathe isn't critical; though I suppose being able to breathe underwater is. I like the Elemental idea, but a bit more thought tells me Monstrous Humanoid would probably be best. I leave that decision to you.

Also, take your time.

Seeing as I'm taking this a completely different direction, I don't think this conflicts with Debihuman. I'm not really confident on the CR, but I think it's about right.

Stoop
When a legendary cormorant charges downward, it may attack with both claws.

Improved grab
When a legendary cormorant hits a smaller creature with an attack, or an equal size creature with both claws, it may immediately begin grapple with no attack of opportunity.

Curse
When a legendary cormorant hits with its beak, it may immediately bestow a curse as if by the Bestow Curse spell. The save dc is charisma based.

Bend Luck
A legendary cormorant may alter the luck of other creatures. Over the course of each day, it has 30 luck points to bestow, each of which grant a +/- 1 luck modifier to all attacks, saves and skill checks of the effected creature for the next hour. No single creature can receive more than a +/- 5 modifier. The legendary cormorant may bestow multiple luck points at once (either on the same or different creatures). The bestowal is a standard action requiring line of sight. A dc 38 will save negates. The save is cha based.

Hold Breath
A legendary cormorant can go 1 hour without breathing.

Plane Shift (self and passengers only)
Twice a day, a legendary cormorant can use Plane Shift (as the spell) for itself and beings it is carrying (either in its claws or on its back). The save dc, if relevant, is cha based.

Language
Legendary cormorants can speak common, auran, aquan, celestial, abyssal and infernal, but rarely choose to do so. Thanks to their languages and plane shift ability, they sometimes carry messages among outsiders, the dead, and the living, but generally for a high price.

Skills
A Legendary Cormorant has a +8 racial bonus on Swim checks. It can take 10 on swim checks even when rushed or threatened.

C. 921

You can simply give the creature the Breathless quality that Air Genasi have. They are Native Outsiders. That quality should be fine for a Magical Beast.

[Debihuman]

C. 921 Your homebrewed legendary cormorant has way too many hit dice and high saves to be CR 12. It's hard to judge because it is outside the parameters of Vorpal Tribble’s CR estimator but it looks to be CR 16 not CR 12.

boring explanation below

#1. Divide creature's average HP by 4.5 to 6.5.
4.5 for 5 HD or lower, 5 for 6-10 HD, 5.5 for 11-15 HD, 6 for 16-20 HD., 6.5 for 20-25 HD.

270/6.5=41


#2. Add 1 for each five points above 10 its AC is, subtracting 1 for every 5 below.

3

#3. Add 1 for each special attack (+2 to +5 or more if it has a decent number of spells in its spell-like abilities).

3

#4. Add 1 for each quality unless you deem it worthy of more. Add 1 for each resistance and 10 points of DR it has, and 2 for each immunity. Subtract 1 for each vulnerability.

3

#5. Add 1 for every two bonus feats it has.

0

#6. Divide total by 3. This should be its rough CR.
41 +3 +3 +3 +0= 50/3=16

I've got a half-vampire character I'd like to play in a campaign. What I don't have is a fun class to go along with it. Seeing as the ppor girl will have the blood drain and blood addiction portions, I thought some flavor of Hemomancer would be in order. However I can't find any that I particularly enjoy. Preferably I'd like something that sits on a Soulknife or improved Soulknife chassis that creates its weapons from blood and has a few blood related powers to play around with. I would greatly appreciate ANYONE more creative than I to take a crack at this.

Hmm. I tried to get the CR by being about 2 levels tougher than the CR 10 legendary tiger which comes out at CR 17 by that formula. Not sure if legendary tigers are terribly under-CRed or the formula doesn't scale well.

Actually it doesn't

Legendary creatures are 3.0 so you have update them to 3.5 for them to make sense. The problem with them is that they have a lot of hit points but nothing else. It should have been a template and explained, but it wasn't.

I think the CR is artificially low because normal animals don't have supernatural abilities. Theyre just relying on brawn, which makes them pretty easy to defeat once you can hit them from a distance. As a result, the creature's CR is actually lower than the formula would indicate. Note the formula isn't foolproof and it is just an estimator.

Why did you use Legendary Creature as a comparison? It was a very bad choice. You should look at other magical beasts with CR 12 for a comparison. Especially since your creature has supernatural abilities which legendary creatures do not.

Debby

[dspeyer]

C921

I've run a bunch of numbers and you're right.

I should probably write up the numbers and add them to monster builder. They were interesting. Maybe I should redo the cormorant, too.

As for why the other legendary animals, that's what it conceptually is: a real-world cormorant exaggerated. I threw in a few cormorant-related legends from various cultures, but I don't think they were very powerful (well, bestow curse is, but it's to make up for having no damage to speak of).

I need a PF prestige class based around the weapon finess feat, replacements for bardic music,and the acrobatics skill, entry level around 6-8 preferably

designed for a bard who wants to branch out into a more combat-ish role while remaining somewhat suportive

[Just to Browse]

C 915

That sounds hilarious and I would like to volunteer.

What level of entry do you want, what role do you want it to fill (tank, harass, buff, assassin), do you want magic (and if so, how much?), and what flavor would you like it tied to?

I'm considering a cursed monk/fighter PrC making use of combat techniques, an assassin with on-hit save-or-sucks, or a druid PrC that wildshapes and summons frogs.

Combat:

Unstable (Ex):

After after every attack a Spazosaurus makes it must make a reflex save (DC 18) to avoid over balancing and falling over. If it fails its reflex save the DM should roll om the scatter table to see wich direction the Spazosaurus falls in. All creature with in 15 by 15 feet of the Spazosaurus take 1d6 (DC 9 reflex half). The Spazosaurus must make a DC 18 strength check to get up from prone.

laughter inducing (Ex):

When ever the Spazosaurus moves or attacks all creature with line of sight to the Spazosaurus must make a will save (DC 10), or be stunned for one round as they start to laught uncontrollable at the hilarious movements of the Spazosaurus.

[DracoDei]

C924
Laughter inducing is pretty powerful, mostly because Stunned involves dropping items held.

Unstable is HIGHLY lethal, even at levels four times the CR. Granted it doesn't squash very often, due to the saving throw (needs a 14 or better to save) and scatter table.

I'd up the strength, hit-dice, and CR. Probably drop the Dex to 1 though...

[smoke prism]

@ DracoDei
I've take what you said into consideration, and I've desided to lower the fall damage to 1d6 to show that it can't even fall on people properly (and I didn't what to up it's CR).

Lumbering towards you is a bipedal, stooped over dinosaur that looks like it could fall over at any moment. As it shuffles forwards, it takes all your strength to not burst out in laughter at its comical movement.

Combat

Laughter Inducing (Ex): Whenever the spazosaurus moves or attacks, all creatures with line of sight to the spazosaurus must make a Will save (DC 10), or be stunned for one round as they start to laugh uncontrollably at the hilarious movements of the spazosaurus. The save is Dexterity-based and is a mind-affecting effect.

Unstable (Ex): After every attack, a spazosaurus must make a Reflex save (DC 18) to avoid falling prone. If it fails its Reflex save, the DM should roll on the scatter table to see which direction the spazosaurus falls. All creatures within 15 feet of the spazosaurus take 1d6 points of damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 9) halves the damage. The spazosaurus must make a DC 18 strength check to get up from a prone position. The save is Constitution-based.

I don't THINK it does, but if it does you would be better of making it Int 1 and then giving it a special quality of not having skill ranks or feats... or maybe give it Vow of Poverty as a joke, since I have heard it is worse than not having a feat... for a PC. OTOH it would actually benefit it... except that it is true neutral, and thus has obviously failed the Vow, although that sorta spoils the joke.

C924 Yeah, it does; mindlessness means immunity to all [mind-affecting] effects.

Just by virtue of having an Intelligence score doesn't gain a creature any immunities. Animals get low-light vision as part of Animal traits.

Just by virtue of having an Intelligence score

I meant the LACK of an intelligence score.

[Debihuman]

C924 Yeah, it does; mindlessness means immunity to all [mind-affecting] effects.

Actually it is a bit more than that: "A creature with no Intelligence score is mindless, an automaton operating on simple instincts or programmed instructions. It has immunity to mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects) and automatically fails Intelligence checks."

I'd had the idea for a while to write up stats for a sort of magical headband that bestowed painful visions of the future to it's wearer... the inspiration for this is Cordelia's visions(Angel).

In the beginning, the wearer only gets headaches of a severe sort from the headband, accompanied by vague foggy visions of the near future.

At all times the wearer can resist the damage with a fort save of increasing dc.

But i'm thinking at first it's just headaches on failed save, no damage. Then non lethal damage on a failed save. Then lethal damage on failed save. Then Con damage on failed save. This is physical damage; a mortal brain not being able to handle the visions or something like that.

If the wearer cannot have it removed within an alotted amount of time, the symptoms become fatal... The visions are random, provided at the dungeon master's leisure.

The damage can be healed, or restored. But restoration spells have an increasing chance of failure as well.

The headband cannot be removed with a simple remove curse spell, it has to be manually removed by the original owner, who does not suffer the fatal effects of the headband. Otherwise, limited wish, wish, or miracle.

The wearer can survive and embrace the visions by becoming at least a half cel or half fiend.

Can ya'll help me with the specifics? Like a working mechanic for it?

Edit: I suppose that means i'm number R.925?

Monkey Sage, your request should be Number as R. 925 if I'm not mistaken.
