Monster: Radiance Quasi-Elemental

Monster: Radiance Quasi-Elemental

Oh boy, this one was not difficult to stat up, but it sure did take me a long time because of all these beams. Also, the original description says that the radiance quasi-elementals are hurt by darkness, but they also subsist on darkness. How does that work? I decided to just remove the "food" requirement.

    Burn: The radiance quasi-elemental is extremely hot. Anyone who touches it or who is touched by it takes 1d-2 burning damage.
    Blinding Flash: The radiance quasi-elemental can spin itself rapidly as a Ready maneuver, producing a blinding flash. This costs 2 FP. Every creature that observes the flash within 8 yards of the quasi-elemental must roll against HT or be blinded for margin of failure minutes. If the victim fails by five or more or fails critically, then blindness becomes permanent.
    Beams (9): A radiance quasi-elemental attacks with coloured beams of light. The beams deal various types of damage and are alternative abilities. Each beam costs 1 FP to use and acts as a 10-yard jet. Don’t apply range penalties; treat this as a long melee weapon rather than a ranged attack.
    Red: 1d-2 non-incendiary burning damage from extreme cold.
    Orange: 1d-2 burning damage from fire.
    Yellow: 1d-3 corrosion damage from acid.
    Green: 1d-2 toxic damage from poison.
    Blue: 1d-3 burning surge damage from electricity. This damage treats any conductive, metal armor as DR 1, regardless of its actual DR. If any damage penetrates the target’s DR, he must make a HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of per injury, or be physically stunned. On subsequent turns, they can roll HT to recover.
    Indigo: 1d-1 non-incendiary burning damage from holy energies. Only damages undead and unholy beings.
    Violet: 1d-2 crushing damage from force. Can affect insubstantial beings, double the damage to determine knockback.
