Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

[Shade]

I prefer ray of enfeeblement to reduce person, but am willing to compromise on that if Shade prefers that selection.

I'm a big fan of ray of enfeeblement, so my vote lies there.

Great minds think alike!

That gives us:

Typical Spells Known (6/7/7/5/3; save DC 12 + spell level)
0—spell, spell, spell, spell, spell, spell, spell, spell, 8
1st—disguise self,mage armor, obscuring mist,ray of enfeeblement, true strike,5
2nd—bull's strength, hideous laughter, invisibility, 3
3rd—dispel magic, slow, 2
4th—charm monster, 1

So we're just left with the cantrips. Apart from create water, I fancy ghost sound, resistance and detect magic but aren't so fussed about the other four.

Umm, how about acid splash, daze, read magic, touch of fatigue?

That's OK by me.

Does Shade approve?

Ok, put those in. The kappa-ti are almost done. However, they're supposed to be "larger, faster, stronger versions of kappa," so we should remember to boost their speed. Land and swim speeds get +10 ft?

Put in the Working Draft.

They seem to have the same Movement rating as regular kappa, which suggests that "faster" is just waffle.

We need to differentiate, so I vote to boost the speeds anyway. Besides, I like waffles.

And, if you go back and look, the kappa-ti has twice the movement rating as the common kappa.

I too like waffles, and agree to swifter speeds.

Dang it, you're right. I wrote it up wrong in my notes - dang copy & paste.

So, add 50% to both (Speed 30 ft., Swim 60 ft.) so the ground speed is the 3E equivalent of the AD&D Kappa-Ti's 12" movement?

That raises the question of the Vampire Kappa's speed, since its AD&D movement rate is intermediate between the Common Kappa and the Kappa-Ti. I'm thinking it ought to have a 30 ft. ground speed and 40 ft. swim speed.

Many humanoids with a 9" ground speed in AD&D have 30 ft. speeds in 3rd edition.
