    Completed Creatures Index & Current Conversions

    Firstly, I'll refer you to my previous post that the original MC entry has no support for Nyraala Golem's being mutated living creatures. They're clearly artificial beings made by combining tissues from other lifeforms. There are multiple golems which are constructed like that, the classic...

    Converting monsters from Tales From The Infinite Staircase

    I put Intelligence 18 in there because the original had "Int genius (18)" in its statblock, but there's no harm in bumping it up. After all it does, literally, have a brain the size of a (small) planet if its nervous system is spread across all of Maelost. Would even be prepared to go higher...

    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    So like: Breath Weapon (Su): A weredragon can use its breath weapon in both hybrid and dragon form. The breath weapon is the same as the base dragon advanced to the weredragon's total racial hit dice. For example, a wyrmling bronze ogre weredragon with 6 dragon hit dice and 4 giant hit dice...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I could agree with all of that. Toughness is a borderline useless feat but it is standard for Ogres. I'll pencil it in for now but would be open to swapping it for something else. Updating the Greater Fachan Working Draft.

    Completed Creatures Index & Current Conversions

    Nah. Their 2E entry says Nyraala are golems multiple times, they're definitely Constructs. The Habitat/Society says they're "automatons" and compares them to Brain Golems, which are creatures made of brains statted as Constructs in the 3E Fiend Folio. While there is one sentence in Ecology...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    You've got a URL of http://list of Hengeyokai' in the "list of hengeyokai" above. A quick bit of internet-fu indicates the Piazza Kara-Tur forum is https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?t=36598. Planewalker.com had 3.5 Planar Hengeyokai PCs in the Races chapter of their Planescape...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    How's this: Pungency (Ex): A bielgorad exudes a strong noxious stink. All creatures with a sense of smell within 100 feet of a bielgorad can make free Spot checks (DC 5 plus 1 per 10 feet of distance) to notice the odor. Creatures with bonuses to scent-based skill checks, such as wolves' +4...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    Okay, these Giant Mosquitoes are only the size of a very small bird like a Robin* or Wren. * I mean proper Robin Rebreasts (Erithacus rubecula) like we have over here, not those Thrushes with a makeover they call Robins (Turdus migratorius) in America. Both Eurasian Wrens (Troglodytes...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    Here's the original text for the Tiny sized but still Giant Mosquitoes:  Mosquitoes, giant (20 + 4d6 per swarm): INT non; AL N; AC 5; MV 1, fly 18 (A); HD ½; hp 1-4 each; THAC0 15; #AT 1 per 10 mosquitoes; Dmg see below; SA attacks as 5-HD monster, see below; SZ T (6″-8″ wingspan); ML 18; XP...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    I'm game to have a stab at the beetle once the Mozzies are finished. We've still got the Tiny version to stat up.

    Kraken Variants

    Should we tweak the wording of the Krak's Full Attack lines? They're currently. But that could be interpreted as it making either a pair of slams plus seven tentacle attacks as option one or seven katana attacks as option two. It could also mix-and-max tentacle and katana attacks if it...

    Kraken Variants

    Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft. I'm fine leaving the constrict at 2d6+6 as per the Working Drafts and using the standard descriptions for the Special Attacks, so have included that in the updates.

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    The Earthquake Beetle? Sure, you may suggest it! :p I've mainly been focusing on oversized versions of normal arthropods but we're open to including bugs from fantasy & myths like the Mystaran Dragonflies we converted.

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    As you like. Updated the Wriggler Dire Mosquito Working Draft. While doing so I noticed a couple of wee errors in this thread's post #234: Swallow. The wriggler targets is a Small or smaller creature it is grappling. The creature must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed...
