Converting Forgotten Realms monsters

[Cleon]

That would effectively remove turn undead, which would prove problematic with their ties to negative energy.

I'm fine with that.

Sounds like we're agreed then.

It makes a change!

Doesn't leave them with much unless they're martial types to start with.

Ah well. Anything else we can do to make these interesting, or does this seem like it?

That seems about it for the special abilities, we just need to figure out the numbers and add some flavour text.

 

[freyar]

Well, "turned as mummies" should mean no turn resistance, but we went with +2 for the lessers. I'd stick to that, I think.

I'd give it +3 natural armor, since the original AC is one worse than the lesser version.

Let's leave mental stats the same, but bump Str and Dex. The question is how much.

Since they're essentially just making touch attacks (right?), then high Dex makes the most sense. +4?

 

[freyar]

Dex +4 is good. You know, I'm coming around to a Cha +2 to boost the energy drain save a little.

Seconded!

 

[Cleon]

Seconded!

Assuming the Lesser 'wrath has an array of straight 10s and 11s, it has Dex +6, Wis +2, Cha +4.

The Abysskin ought to be at least that good - would Str +2, Dex +6, Wis +4, Cha +4 be OK?

I've no objections.

Might as well put that in the Homebrew then!
