Diablo I monsters

Anyone willing to convert some of these?

Hey Ferret, I know you want Diablo I monsters, but did you ever get the 3E D&D accessory, Diablo II: Diablerie?

If not, it could be the next best thing if you can still get it. (Although some thought it bit the big one.)

As for Diablo I monsters, it might be hard to accomplish that. Trying to get a hold of the original 2nd D&D Diablo book would be even harder, and there's no guarantee that anyone has it. (It too, was supposed to not have been so great.)

Anyway, good luck in finding someone to help you out. I hope to see some conversions here too.

Cheers!

Get it on eBay or something, it was a serious rip off I think. They rushed it far too much and came out with a rather lackluster product in this case. (And this is coming from a guy who really likes Diablo 2)

I and II are quite different, and the creatures in Diablerie are "d20 not D&D" if you get what I mean....

Diablo I monsters were awesome. Everything from the Succubi to the Illusion Weavers was well thought out.

However, I couldn't convert a monster to save my life, so I plea for some conversions.
