Thanks heaps so far - intresting regarding Sylune’s Memory that gets feedback both ways. Hard for me to judge, because in reality there is a story prerequesite to this one, but 9th level would not worry me. This is end-game kind of stuff, in the context of the Forgotten Realm's.
Taking Coroc's...
I am running the three final 3.5 adventures (Cormyr, Shadowdale and Anauroch) based in the Forgotten Realms. One of my players (Rogue [thief] 11) was instrumental in healing a rift in the weave and we have discussed giving him "blessing of Mystra" style Feats option for the remaining 3 ASI...
OK, I have completed my take on the Monster Conversion for Chapter 3 - edited the first post and made it all a bit neater, I hope.
Is there any interest in the of the Adventure and a more in depth breakdown of the 3.5 to 5E conversion of the whole thing (Loot, DCs?)? The write up is a bit of...
Ok, here we go. I think I will use this thread at least for the blocs from chapter 3.
Encounter L7 - Great Hall
5x Shadowslain Lizardfolk CR 2 - see above.
Ketsarra Shadowscale (shadowslain half-black dragon lizardfolk cleric 4) CR 6 - Well, that was a mouth full in 3rd edition. I started...
Since for now, this is indended for my one game, I will not get a chance to playtest - but that means I am all the more glad for insight and experience like yours to draw upon.
I think with that, I did my final update to the Shadowscale Lizzarfolk. Changed the save to Cha, increased Cha to 12...
Charisma would also fit, due to the whole "force of personality" concept behind the attribute. They resist by sheer gall. Would make it tons easier for the PC in my particular game, though. The affected casters are a bard and a warlock. That is why I went for con - the attribute also linked to...
Thanks heaps for that already. Sounds good then. I think i might tune down Kithguard Marran a little bit then - maybe 8HD and bring the main weapon attack in line with the ranged to a +7 (ignoring the magic weapon).
I see the proficiency in all saves adds a lot to the defensive CR calculation...
OK, I have changed out the shadowslain based on aco175's input. Any other suggestions for L1 and L1A? There is only one additional stat block required for the next encounter, so let's keep going ...
Encounter L2 - Main Courtyard
5x Shadowslain Lizardfolk CR2 - See first post.
1x Starweaver...
Sounds good, and it does not really change the CR. Might hold back on giving Weave Drain as a targeted ability. There are a lot of bespoke abilities in the book, probalby more fun to convert them and keep things fresh. But it might be something for the Shadowslain boss Ketsarra in the final...
I mean I am open to juice them up a bit more. I just don't neccecarily want to push the HD too far, since they are quite plentiful, and even at lv. 5, killing 7 of them should not feel like a chore but more like 4E style minions.
The orginal monster in 3.5 had weave drain as an automatic...
I am currently running Cormyr: Tearing of the Weave for a group of 5-6 players. They are of the level recomended by the adventure (5th in Chapter 3 now) and I am roughly sticking to the CRs of the monsters published in the Adventure. So far (chapter 1 & 2), it has been working out pretty well. I...
