Converting Monsters from D&D Official Video Games

[Shade]

Lets drop the natural armor by 3 to preserve the original AC.

Slams should be +3 (+2 BAB, +1 size)

It gets two feats.

Otherwise, looks good.

I knew I'd miss something! Power attack is a reasonable 2nd feat. CR2? Anything else?

Construction.

Construction.

Oh, right, the section you have there is from the full-size version. I guess the full-size version would work if we take the construction cost to be 2000 gp plus a 500 gp gem. Then just remove the salamander/fire snake blood and heat metal (& maybe cat's grace) and drop CL to 6th. I think that would put the final price at 5000 gp and cost to construct 2500 gp + 20 XP.

Sounds good.

Weight 250 pounds?

Weight 250 pounds?

Works for me.

Power attack is a reasonable 2nd feat.

Except it doesn't qualify for it unless we increase Str to 13.

Weapon Focus (slam) instead?

CR 2 seems reasonable.

<edit>It would certainly make sense to remove Cat's Grace from its construction.

Good point. Weapon Focus should be fine.

CONSTRUCTION

A copper automaton is crafted from 250 pounds of copper ore, iron gears, and lead counterweights, and requires a 500 gp gem as the focus for its magical energy source. Assembling the body requires a DC x Craft (metalworking) check.

CL 6th; Craft Construct, grease, caster must be at least 9th level; Price 5,000 gp; Cost 2,250 gp + 20 XP.

Since the standard model requires a DC 15 check, maybe 12 or 13 for the miniatures?
