From the AD&D Fiend Folio, what type of undead would you classify a polergeist as? Common?

I prefer fricasseed. Do you know what the penalty is for hunting fricasseeing ectoplasm without a fricasseeing ectoplasm license?Arduin wrote:I like my ectoplasm boiled...MormonYoYoMan wrote:It's better medium-well, depending on how it's tenderized.Arduin wrote:Rare

The description states they turn as skeletons, so was thinking common, but maybe not.Arduin wrote:Rare
Btw, thanks for the plethora of colorful replies all, lol!

Re: From the Fiend Folio
Actually, I was talking in terms of TURNING (sorry if that was unclear). In C&C terms, would the be common or extraordinary? Based on the description on page 135 of the PHB, I think extraordinary actually fits.Arduin wrote:I was basing it off of the frequency tag in the Fiend Folio.Lobo316 wrote:The description states they turn as skeletons, so was thinking common, but maybe not.Arduin wrote:Rare

If they turn as skeletons, Lobo, I'd slap the "common" tag on them.

You know, I thought so as much, and may still go that route, but read that description in the PHB under turning for what qualifies as common or extraordinary, and I'm actually leaning more towards extraordinary.Lord Dynel wrote:If they turn as skeletons, Lobo, I'd slap the "common" tag on them.
Hmmm...going to dig through M&t and find simliar, non-corporeral undead to compare to...later!
Re: From the Fiend Folio
In AD&D, it was meant to reflect how easily they are turned whereas C&C does thing slightly differently. I would make them "extraordinary" but perhaps make them easier -- that is, your check to to turn is given a modifier, but the number (determined by "type") is unaffected. I'd slap a +1 - 3 bonus on turning check against them. Maybe more but probably not.
