Ok, so I'm trying to design a fairy for my Fae-o-matic thread and I'm stuck and need some opinions.
The creature has a fairly simple to describe ability:
The creature may target a number of people equal to its HD, creating elements [phantasmal] in reality that are effectively real. They can create a total number of elements equal to their HD and their total volume in 10ft cubes may not exceed HD2 such cubes.
These things can be fought, can fight, brain fills in the details, yadda yadda yadda. Creations fight using more or less the creature's stats, save that the damage is based on the size of the apparition [so creating a dragon would be more damaging than a human] but the bigger it gets, the more likely you are to disbelieve it [size modifier on saves, basically].
The creature uses it mostly to mess with people but can be deadly in a "oh, you didn't see the cliff there?" kind of way.
What's a good number of HD to have? These creatures are kind of designed to be driven off or defeated by smarts rather than clobbered, so the fact that their CR is greater than their HD is unlikely to be a massive problem...
