=== SPECIAL ABILITIES ===
=== SPECIAL ABILITIES ===
Basic monsters typically have up to one special ability.  Named monsters could have three to five special abilities.
<special abilities should have a save DC 37>


Often, the converted creature's special abilities should just be carried forward, with the numeric values adjusted using the numbers above.
<special attack damage (standard action): 10d6+20>


Be aware, however, that you don't actually need very many special abilities, even for complex uniques like Orcus. Your monsters probably won't live more than about three rounds. Some creatures you convert may have dozens of listed abilities in their source material.  Just pick a few of the most interesting ones to make the fight memorable.  Your named monsters should be able to do something interesting each round, though there's no rule it has to be a different interesting thing each round.
<special attack damage (aoe’s, swift actions or inflicting status effects): 7d6>


Named monsters can also have 1 or even 2 action points, even if they have no role. Note that you can never spend more than 1 action point in a single round.


Any special abilities which have a save DC should have '''the DC set to 37'''.
