Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

[Cleon]

I don't feel that strongly about this (say, compared to using Colossal+ for non-epic-dragons or making nonstandard semi-ethereal creatures...)

Sometimes you're no fun at all.

It makes little difference to me. I still lean toward single-target, but I won't object to an area.

How about a 120 ft cone?

Why would a dazzling display of weapon skill affect targets in a cone?

Line of sight, like the beholder's antimagic cone.

Nothing that I can see!

Let's use that.

60 foot range, or further than that?

Maybe 120 ft., so he's got a chance to use it before a flyby attack/snatch combo finishes him off?

As you like.

Are we doing an "Improved Dazzle" with a longer range and a DC bonus?

 

[freyar]

This works for me.

Let's keep Improved Dazzle in mind, but I'd like to work on variety in this menu first.
