A few questions about Crown of Fangs. . .
1)The Gray Maidens' hp of 89 seems to be calculated as a 10th level fighter (10d10 + 30) rather than their actual level of 8. Any ideas of a fair hp total for an 8th level fighter with Con 16? I never did figure out what formula is used to calculate hp totals in books and modules. It always seems to be slightly above average so I was thinking maybe the Grays should have about 72?
2)This is nitpicking but I think stoneskin should be included in the list of spells definitely in Togomor's spellbook, as he has a contingency for it in effect. Togomor is also likely the source of the stoneskin spell in Ileosa's ring of spell storing. Sure some scrolls could have been used for these spells but hey, using Togomor provides a convenient caster level. Speaking of caster levels, any ideas on the CL of the heal spell in Ileosa's ring of spell storing?
3)I hate to give Ileosa even MORE AC but it seems the +2 insight bonus from her constant foresight spell (due to the Crown of Fangs) is not included. I'm not sure if the +2 insight bonus to her Reflex save is included either. Also, it specifically states in both the Crown's description and the entry for foresight that the subject is unable to be caught surprised. So the bit of text in B20's description about PCs surprising Ileosa is kind of moot.
4)What about the Crown's spell-like abilities? They don't appear in Ileosa's stat block so I assume the Crown takes its own turn to use its spells like Karzoug's intelligent glaive? I would think that it would at least be mirror imaging its wearer and throwing some dominate persons around.
5)A common tactic for both the simulacrums and Ileosa herself is to combine bardic music suggestions with attack spells via Harmonic Spell. But the PHB description of this bard ability says that the target of the suggestion must already be fascinated from the fascinate bardic music ability. Furthermore, the description of fascinate states that the ability is impossible to use in combat or near a combat. How does this tactic of Ileosa's work? Maybe I'm reading things wrong cause bards really aren't my field of expertise ;)
6)This isn't a question about the Crown of Fangs adventure but is related to Pathfinder #12. In the article on the Harrow deck of Many Things, one of the cards (The Trumpet I think) gives a PC the ability to summon an outsider of their alignment and up to their HD in CR once per day. How long does this summoned creature stick around? One encounter? An hour? The whole day?
7)One last minor question. How do the Gray Maidens have +13 to hit with their longswords? They have BAB +8, Str 14 (+2), Weapon Focus (+1), and the swords are +1 weapons. So I only count a +12 bonus. Am I missing something?
