4E Conversions: The Blightspawn of Rawlings Wood Part 2

Yesterday, I mentioned that I had made my own 4E conversion of the template I am using for The Blightspawn of Rawlings Woods. So, I'm including it here for completeness (my apologies!). The original Blightspawn template can be found on page 60 of the Unapproachable East, an accessory book for the 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. The main difference, aside from the new rules, from my converted Blightspawn and the one originally featured in the UE is that everyone who dies from the disease rises again as Blightspawn (instead of just a handful of the victims). Also, please note the subtle differences from the Level 6 Blight Disease and the Level 16 and Level 26 versions. I thought it would make things a tad more interesting to include the increase in virulence of the disease, coupled with the shorter 'rise again' times.

Blightspawned aberrant fey (plant) Elite Soldier XP Elite

Senses Low-light Defenses +2 AC; +2 Fortitude; -1 Will Immune to disease, poison, sleep, paralysis, stun Vulnerable fire (a blightspawned takes ongoing 5 fire damage [save ends] when damaged by fire) Saving Throws +2 Hit Points +8 per level + Constitution score Powers Blight Touch (standard, at-will) * Disease, Necrotic Level + 5 vs. AC; 1d10 + 5 necrotic damage, and the target contracts level 6 Blight Disease (see below). Increase the damage to 2d6 + 7 at 11th level, and to 3d6 + 10 at 21st level. Similarly, increase the disease to level 16 and level 26 respectively.

Let me know what you think. In the meantime... enjoy!
