They have light blue and silver spots on them, and tufts of white hair around their ears and chin that resemble beards. Nilmergs are small reptiles that feed primarily on insects and berries and use their magical abilities to decieve and fend off potential predators. Nilmergs have an inexplicable taste for cooked corn, and can smell it from miles away if the wind blows right. Because of this they can become a pest to households in which such food is prepared. combat: When pursued a nilmerg will try to mislead the assailant with ghost sound and if need by firing at them with ray of frost before scampering away and hiding. When cornered they bite viciously and feircely, but always looking for an escape opportunity Spell-like abilities(sp): Once per day ray of frost and ghost sound, caster level 1. Nilmergs can be tamed with the normal rules for domesticating an animal, their handle animal check is dc:14. Nilmerg eggs sell for 7gp and young for 12gp.

cwslyclgh 12-23-04, 05:47 AM	well as a magical beast it should have D10 base HD, so it should have 1/2d10+1 (3 HP) (not that it changes anything) and I would say CR 1/3 is fine for them.
mythSSK 12-23-04, 06:00 AM	I'm sorry I don't really have any constructive criticism, I just wanted to say: I really, really want a pet Nilmerg! They just sound soooo cute! :D Sorry again for wasting your thread space. *squeals like a schoolgirl* I WANTS THE CUTE BLUE MAGICAL LIZZARD!!!
R.M.G.C.L.F. 12-23-04, 06:28 AM	Well, they only cost 12gp. ^_^

Olly 03-24-05, 04:16 AM	1d1-5 What exactly does a d1 look like?
HomebrewedMonster 03-24-05, 07:07 AM	1/3 sounds right, its the AC that prevents them from being a 1/4. Also, how does it have a +3 attack? I'm guessing a racial feat (weapon finesse)?
Arquinsiel 03-24-05, 07:44 AM	+8 for size, -5 for str I would guess (not bothering to check the srd). I'd say 1/3 is about right as a single hit will most likely put it into negatives. The tactics you describe suggest an int higher than 2 though, three or four probably. Mind if I steal these btw? They could be fun.
R.M.G.C.L.F. 03-24-05, 02:21 PM	What exactly does a d1 look like? Sort of like a d2 or a d3, only with fewer sides. :P
R.M.G.C.L.F. 03-24-05, 02:26 PM	Arquinsiel is correct. One of the reason there are so few fine creatures is that a +8 bonus to melee and AC makes up for a lot. It's not actually intelligence, just instincts. Trust me.
HomebrewedMonster 03-24-05, 02:55 PM	Wow, I forgot about that size bonus to attack. That's vicious.
