Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

That looks spot-on so far.

The suggested tactics seem reasonable.

I'll add the tactics.

Hold on, its spear should be +1 ranged, not +0.

Looks good! Would Climb work for the other skills?

I'd rather put most of it in Jump, since Warriors share that skill with the SRD Lizardfolk.

Say, 3 in Jump, 2 in Climb?

Updates Working Draft.

Anything else apart from the flavour?

Maybe tweak the languages.

Since they're subterranean, they could have Undercommon and Terran instead of (or in addition to) Common and Aquan.

The subterranean Troglodytes have Automatic Languages: Draconic. Bonus Languages: Common, Giant, Goblin, Orc, so we could also swap Gnoll for Giant?

Yes to Undercommon, No to Terran. Maybe drop Common from the Auto list for it. Swapping Gnoll for Giant also works.

That will all work.

So Automatic Languages: Draconic. Bonus Languages: Aquan, Giant, Goblin, Orc and Undercommon?

Works for me.

 

[Shade]

Yep.

Standard treasure appeals.

Anything else beside flavor?

 

[freyar]

Just flavor, I think.
