    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Updating Efreeti Firelord Working Draft. So I guess we should finish off the rest of the basic stats. Let's see, a regular Efreeti has: Saving Throws INT +7, WIS +6, CHA +7 Damage Immunities fire Senses darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 12 Languages Ignan It also seems worth comparing...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monsters Inspired by Third Edition Sources

    Ta-da! Any suggestions/corrections or are you OK with it as-is. Will need to modify the Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu to add ten giant locusts to its giant insect roster.

    Also, remember I was tempted to stat up a giant locust?

    5E: Fifth Edition Monsters Inspired by Third Edition Sources

    Will add the spells to the Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu in the next update. Except for shield of faith as I'm replacing that with mage armor. We've still got one 4th-level and one 5th-level spell to assign. Any ideas? After further consideration, I now prefer: The swarm vanishes back to the...

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    Forgot to include this bit. Hmm… Maybe change the first paragraph to: Weresnakes are insidious lycanthropes who delight in stalking and killing humanoids. In humanoid form they tend to be thin but muscular and unusually flexible. They move slowly and smoothly with occasional bursts of...

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    The first paragraph is pretty redundant as half of it repeats information in the Shapechanger trait. What do you think of this: Weresnakes are insidious lycanthropes who delight in stalking and killing humanoids. In humanoid form they tend to be thin but muscular and unusually flexible. They...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    Let's see, how about… Spells: The Keeper of the Keys has the spellcasting ability of a 12th level paladin, but selects spells as if it were an evil cleric, including an evil cleric's spontaneous casting ability to convert prepared spells into inflict spells. Its caster level is 6th. Typical...

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    Updating the Weresnake Working Draft. So we've just got a description to knock out.

    5E: Fifth Edition Monsters Inspired by Third Edition Sources

    I've been thinking over how to upgrade (or should that be "exalt"?) the thrall's various powers, and realized that to keep things balanced the thrall's Breath of Pazreal really needs to require Concentration and preferably have a rule restricting how many swarms can attack the same target. If...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monsters Inspired by Third Edition Sources

    The spells up to 3rd-level look fine to me, but the higher level ones are problematic. Firstly, dominate beast (flying only) overlaps with its Enslave Aerial Creature" ability, which does the same thing except it affects any type of flying creature rather than just flying beasts. That seems...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    That was basically my idea for how "Immolation" would work. Aren't we aiming for a CR in the high teens or low twenties? That is, Challenge 18 to 21 or so. Currently I was assuming CR 20 (25,000) like a Pit Fiend, for a Proficiency Bonus of +6. With Charisma 24 that gives it DC 21 (also like...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    So are we agreed on: Genie, Efreeti Firelord Huge elemental, lawful evil Armor Class 19 (natural armor) Hit Points 290 (20d12 + 160) Speed 50 ft., fly 80 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 25 (+7) 12 (+1) 26 (+8) 17 (+3) 16 (+3) 24 (+7) Magic Resistance The efreeti firelord has advantage on...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    Updating the Gladiator Lizard. I'm fine leaving the background text until we've finished the Bleak One. As for the description, that's pretty straightforward: In poor visibility, this creature resembles an enormous armored warrior several feet taller than an average humanoid who wields twin...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Yeah, usually you put a linespace before the subheading instead. Heck, that'll do. We've spent enough time on this one. I'll update the Index of 5th Edition Conversions of AD&D Monsters and Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index. So shall we move on? It's the Efreeti Firelord next I...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Here goes nothing… Caprines are highly individualistic and vary greatly in what weapons and tactics they prefer, but generally like fighting from range with longbows or magic. Many favor ambushes, trickery and sniping foes from the underground, much like a sylvan elf. A typical caprine will...

    Not feeling inspired at the moment. Will get back to you on this one sometime later.

    Kraken Variants

    Updated the Male Krakentua Working Draft and a Female Krakentua Working Draft. Basically, I'm thinking of doing the conversion from scratch. Well, I've left the Environment the same and the previous version's Speed*, Alignment and Level Adjustment would be fine. * The speed for the male that...
