Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Shade]

The original creatures convert to AC 16 (lesser) and 20 (greater), and don't appear to have any armor (simply robes). So maybe a deflection or profane bonus would be appropriate?

 

[demiurge1138]

I like deflection.

 

[freyar]

Agreed.

 

[Shade]

Deflection bonus equal to Cha modifier?

 

[demiurge1138]

That's industry standard, and I think it sounds right.

 

[freyar]

Sounds right, but does it boost the AC enough in this case? Should we swap some ability scores around? Swapping Con for Cha gives us an additional point of AC. Speaking of Con, that needs to be changed to - in the wyrd version.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

I followed freyar's suggestions, and believe it now has more than enough AC for a lesser wyrd.

Ready for the greater wyrd?

 

[freyar]

Just about -- should we specify the animal companion? I'm thinking Small Viper for some reason.

In any case, let's just advance her to ranger 8 and greater wyrd. The second favored enemy should definitely be humanoid (elf).

 

[demiurge1138]

I think we should switch to leopard for the greater wyrd's companion (also saves us having to stat anything out). Humanoid (elf) works for the second favored enemy.

 

[freyar]

No, definitely don't want to stat out the animal companion.
