Just noticed that the D&D Beyond Version has passive Perception 14. That should be passive Perception 16 as it has Perception +6.

Deblueing the Amiraspian Griffon Rider Mystic and updating the White Dwarf Conversion Index and the Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index.

So we're still missing the Dragon Warriors from D&D Beyond.

Righty-ho.

Any other White Dwarf D&D monsters you fancy doing?

I was musing on my own mortality and thinking I'd like to do the weresnake. Also noticed that there was a wereserpent in 3e and 4e. Have looked at the 4e statblock and pondering making some critter that incorporates features of all with a bit of 4e fun in combat

BTW - dndbeyond doesn't let me do statblock groups so have to do all dragon warriors as separate entities. Unfortunately there is no "parent" statblock to place descprition so have to put description in each statblock

You could put the full Description in one Dragon Warrior, say the Black Dragon Warrior, and have "See the Black Dragon Warrior" or the like in the rest.

Might as well secure your legacy!

The White Dwarf #30 Weresnake is a venomous snake lycanthrope while the official 3E version is a constrictor snake.

Don't remember the 4E version, have to look that one up…

EDIT: Thought it was in Dragon #394 but it's the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide (2008).
