They should look somewhat odd, with a perpetually slouched gait and lopsided look to them, as they have thick, muscular hind legs and much thinner front legs that pare down to rending claws. I have yet to test them, and I'm not worried too much about springing them up, as the first encounter should be fairly below the party's CR, allowing me to get a gauge on exactly how exactly these fellows play out, but I was wondering in particular what numbers might spring out at folks in terms of CR. Anyway, here is: Name: White Reaper Grey Reaper Medium Magical Beast Large Magical Beast Hit Dice: 8d10 + 24 (68 hp) 12d10 + 60 (126 hp) Initiative: +7 +6 Speed: 40 ft. 50 ft.

The damage listed on the table below is both primary and secondary. Breath (su): A Reaper can let loose gouts of flame from its cavernous mouth as a free action. The breath weapon is a 30 foot cone of fire that has a reflex save for half damage and deals damage as per the table below. The Reaper cannot use its breath weapon again for 1d4 rounds. A Reaper can focus its breath weapon on a grappled foe; doing so only affects the grappled victim, but offers no saving throw. Type Fort/Ref DC Toxin Primary Toxin Secondary Breath Damage White 17 1d2 Strength 1 Constitution 4d4 Grey 21 1d3 Strength 1 Constitution 6d4 Crimson 20 1d3 Strength 1 Constitution 7d4 Black 25 1d4 Strength 1 Constitution 8d4 Disease Immunity (ex): All Reapers are completely immune to all magical and mundane diseases. Spell-like Abilities: At will--Pass Without Trace, Commune With Nature, Spider Climb, 3/day--Remove Disease, Entangle(DC 12), Greater Magic Fang, 1/day--Flame Strike(DC 15), caster level 14th. The save DCs are charisma-based. Disease Sense (su): A Crimson Reaper can detect traces of disease when tracking quarry, and automatically senses diseased creatures as such. Skills: Reapers gain a +4 racial bonus to survival checks. And, of course, feel free to point out the dozen of little errors I'm certain I made in the writeup. ;)

I'm not really good at figuring CR, but I found this either in another thread about calculating CR or in someone's sig. http://www.kencyclopedia.com/kender/monstergenerator/Step1-GeneralDescription.cfm Try this out and let me know how it works. As an aside, what's with the paranoia about disease? Asi the Red.

The evaluation it gave was: White - CR 7, Grey - CR 11, Crimson - CR 13, Black - CR 15. As for disease, as per their normal behavior Reapers often seem to naturally seek out and drag off diseased individuals, cleansing such areas and killing infected creatures with their breath weapon. The players will be left to have the option of trying to discover their origin, as there are some signs that the creatures were created instead of occuring naturally.
