OK, so let's make 'em fast. Do we want to keep the swarmfighting thing from Dinocanisaurus?

Sure!

They don't really strike me as finesse hunters, so maybe drop Weapon Finesse and boost Str to 15? That would be the normal Str for downsizing Arctognathus to Small.

Drop the climb speed?

Drop the Climb speed, drop the natural armor from +4 to +2 (dinocanisauruses were explicitly armor-plated). Mention that, although they take small prey singly, they work together to fell larger animals in their flavor-text.

Something the size of a Small dog isn't going to weigh 200 pounds. Where did that come from? I'd say it weighs closer to 50 pounds.

I'm guessing the 200 pounds is a copy/paste error from the last one we did.

InsanePsychoRabbit, you should join us in the other conversion threads. It'd be fun!

Maybe I will sometime. I can be your proofreader and pick out all your random mistakes. That seems to be something I'm good at.

Wow, looks done already!

I'll second the invitation, InsanePsychoRabbit. There's a lot going on here; we can use any help you care to give.

That's how I got my "foot in the door", if you will.

Fixed.

Since we have a good sampling of gornopsians, shall we move on to cynodonts?

Sure, if everyone's satisfied we have enough gorgonopsids.

Sounds good. It's "metre-long," so Small? Maybe base this on a dog and beef it up a little?

I'm not sure I'd even beef it up a little. I think "about dog" would be very sensible.

Fair enough. Maybe swap around some attributes just to make some difference. The dog is Str 13, Dex 17, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6, so do you want to do Str 15, Dex 15, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6 or something like that?

freyar, that sounds like the big dog's ability scores. I think they would be fine.

Shade, you fixed the lycaenops' weight, but you didn't add in any of the things demiurge suggested.

You know, you're right, just fiddled around. Hmmmm. How about Str 14, Dex 16, Con 15, Int 1, Wis 11, Cha 6?
