3.5 Cambion to Pathfinder


Conversions


Hello, as title says i want to convert Cambion to Pathfinder rules for campaign that i currently run. This is my first conversion so i need help. What most interest me is if this Cambion is good enough for his CR? Is he too powerful or too weak? Also i would appreciate any ideas and input to make it better. Original Cambion can be found in "Expedition to the Demonweb Pits" (campaign that takes place in Faerun).
My original idea was to go more whit the fluf of Cambion instead to just convert its stat block to Pathfinder. Notable exceptions are 'more powerful Cambions'. I did not put that option for my Cambion because i think that union between demon lords and no matter what type of creature should result in completely unique being and not just more powerful version of Cambion.
So here we go:

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Alternate Form (Su) A cambion can assume the form of a specific medium humanoid as a standard action once per day. This ability functions
as a alter self. A cambion can remain in its humanoid form until it chooses to return to its natural form.
Silent Metal (Ex) A cambion has no armor check penalty on Stealth checks.
Legacy A cambion born in Abyss gets chaotic, evil, extraplanar, they are always CE. A cambion born on Material Plane gets native. Most of cambions that are born on Material Plane are CE but there are cases
of other alignments as well (most are evil but there was neutral cambions trough history and even several of good alignments)

Although the term "cambion" is often applied to any humanoid half-fiend, a true cambion springs from a union between a powerful demon father and a planetouched mother-usually a tiefling.
Despite their power, cambions are freaks and outcasts among both of their parent races. Never accepted in human society and only poorly tolerated in the Abyss, they are bitter and hateful toward all creatures.
Because of their natural stealth and detachment, cambions serve as assassins. Others become bodyguards or lieutenants to the demons who fathered them, or serve as advisors to balors or other high-ranking demons.
Environment Cambions inhabit the Infinite Layers of the Abyss, though some also walk the areas of the Material Plane where they were born.

So, what do you think?


I like it, Kinda like a 3/4 fiend. Maybe a Sidebar or something on alternate cambions from different demon stock, Like maybe a maralith Cambion haveing the lower body of a snake or something like that. and lets not forget the Marquis, the bastard son of a demon lord.

Good idea about different cambions, when i got time i will try to design more specific cambions.

About Marquis and Baron cambions i am of thinking that demon lords would give unique monsters not just better versions of existing (although it is possible if demon lord so wish).
Also, if i got time i will probably design some unique "monsters" that are
"children" of demon lords (but are not nascent demon lords).


sounds cool, keep up the good work.
