Converting First Edition monsters from DRAGON magazine

You guys are off to a great start!

Since the tongue attack is a "thrust", it sounds more like a piercing attack, so I wouldn't go with touch attack.

And I notice that Type E poison is injected

Tongue +3 melee ?

Feats: Alertness, Improved Initiative, Toughness?

With only 5 HD, one of these feats will have to be a bonus feat - probably alertness?

Assuming no racial bonus the DC for the poison's Fort save is 13.

I think a CR of 3 would be about right.

Tongue would be +8 melee, since the full attack line is an "or".

Let's drop Toughness.

Shall we keep the climb and/or swim speeds?

Dump both

It looks like all that remains on this one is its weight. Thoughts?

Am I missing anything else?

Looking good. As it flies, it should be light for its size.

Mortis · Sep 20, 2007

Well, boas can be upto 18.5 feet long and weigh over 60lbs. As the amphitere is only 12 feet long and should be lighter as it can fly how about 25lbs?
