The Falmadaraatha (or “Fal” for short) are huge, slug-like creatures with soft, pulpy bodies that change from light tan at birth to jet-black at the end of life. At the fore end of their bodies, they have a pair of small sensory antennae, bulbous eyes, a massive mouth filled with sharp teeth ideal for burrowing, and a smaller mouth above it, used for speech.
    They speak their own tongue, as well as common and most human, demi-human and humanoid languages.

    Combat: Although the Fal find combat offensive, considering it the final refuge of the incompetent, they are perfectly capable of defending themselves with a ferocious bite.

    Deflection (Su): The falmadaraatha, being naturally telekinetic, are surrounded by an invisible telekinetic field that gives them a deflection bonus to it AC.

    Flight (Ex): A falmadaraatha's body is naturally buoyant. This buoyancy allows it to fly as per the spell, as a free action, at a speed of 20 feet. This buoyancy also grants it a permanent feather fall effect with personal range.

    Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the falmadaraatha must hit a large sized or smaller opponent with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it will try to persuade the foe to surrender in a peaceful manner. Should the foe agree to surrender, then renege on its word, the Fal attacks with no quarter. To the Fal, a promise is sacred.

    Telekinesis (Su): All falmadaraatha are telekinetic. A Fal can lift 1,000 pounds in this way and, if it acts first, will try to neutralize an opponent by simply lifting and holding it about 30' off the floor until the opponent stops fighting. A successful hit on the Fal breaks its concentration, and the victim falls hard. The Fal does have the option to slam an opponent with the telekinesis for 40 hit points of damage into any given surface.

In The Spheres
    The Falmadaraatha are solitary, hermaphroditic, honest, peaceful, and hospitable geniuses that dwell inside hollow, lifeless asteroids (which they may have burrowed out itself). They have the reputation as the scholars of wildspace and live 2,000 or more years of age.

    Notes on this Conversion: Had some fun with this conversion as the Fal is discribed as having soft pulpy bodies... does not sound like alot of natural armor. To make sure that the Fal had an armor class of 19, I decided to see what other AC bonuses could be given... being naturally telekinetic I figure that a deflection bonus would be perfect and gave a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma modifier. Its flight is listed as good as I could visualize them being able to hover.
