Well, the stats I did here are conversions from memory from Arduin Grimoire, a fairly obscure game that was really a dnd "add-on" back in the day. I believe the author was David Hargrave. You might be able to find something by Googling deodanth, Arduin, or Hargrave's name, but for true earlier edition dnd stats you may be out of luck unless you find someone's homebrewed conversions.

Anyway, Arduin allowed deodanth pcs (or just about anything else, really!) but I don't think they would be a balanced part of this nutritious campaign.

Here is the revised pistol wraith, mostly with modified formatting and updated damage values. However, I also changed its encounter power to be more dangerous by draining healing surges instead of just costing one upon a hit.

Sweet!

I was just wondering yesterday "Where is one of Jester's monster level 15-20 threads?"

For reference, the first post of the master thread in the Monster Project (linked in my sig) has links to each of the monster level threads in the first post.

Here's the revised deodanth, including several slightly lower level versions, which makes the whole idea of the levels these monsters are listed at somewhat ridiculous, even moreso than it already was. Ah well.

These guys saw tons of revisions, including the ones I hadn't posted here before (brewed up a couple of years ago for use on my hapless players). The soldiers are more soldiery, timeslip is more interesting and easier to keep track of, etc. Oh, and my lurkers are way more lurky than they were.
