    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    So that's what the issue is. That "base dragon" was intended to refer to the dragon type of the base dragon. How about changing it to "if the dragon type of the base dragon has those attacks at any age category."

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    They're a fairly well known folklore monster. We've also converted a similar "half a man" monster from Arabian Myth, the Nasnas. Yeah, I agree on both. This version is some sort of weird mutant ogre and is considered giant-kin. The original entries say their anatomy is bizarre enough it...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Sure. I'm liking the overcome-fire-resistance ability to be reserved for Legendary Actions. Oh, and just to confirm, we're using Tornado of Flames version 3 right (this one). Y'okay. Okay, my current rough ideas are: Bonus Actions Extra Attack. with attack options from Multiattack? Flash...

Creating a Brainswapped Modronoid "Brainswapped Modronoid" is an acquired template that can be added to any animal, beast, giant, humanoid creature, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid [with a base Will save of at least +#?] (referred...

    Let's go for Brainswapped Modronoid then.

    What he said. Which reminds me, I really should get around to doing that update sometime but keep on getting distracted by things. 🐿️ Squirrel!

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Yeah, might as start on the Attack Line so doing the Crook next works for me. Speaking of which. are they having slam attacks for the original's fists or will we unarmed strike it?

    Kraken Variants

    I was thinking a tentacle could wield a two-handed weapon up to Medium size, a one-handed weapon up to Large size, or a light weapon up to Huge size. Then their tentacle weapon options would typically max out at around 2d6 damage (Medium greatsword, Large longsword, Huge shortsword). We'd need...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    Come to think of it, if we do them as two separate swarms we can give the weaker one some kind of vulnerability to smoke and fire like the original monster had.

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    We could do them as two swarms, a weaker "beetle swarm" based on the Random Encounter Table's 15 hit point version and a stronger "carnivorous beetle swarm" based on Encounter 42's 40 hit point version. Similar to the approach we took for the Tales of the Infinite Staircase's worm swarms, which...

    Converting True Dragons

    So shall I fold the above into Opal? Will we give him 6/day Blink or increase the number of uses since three of the Neutral Dragons have that SA?

    Converting True Dragons

    We gave Pearl all the SAs and SQs of her dragon types so presumably we'll be doing the same for Opal. So Opal will have the powers of a Mystaran Jade and Mystaran Onyx dragon plus an Amber (Neutral), Jacinth, Jade, Moonstone and Pearl Dragon. So that's: Mystaran Jade Camouflage (Ex): Since a...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft. I've used 5d10 for the Tornado of Flames damage 'cause we've got a couple of 6d8s in the spellcasting and I like a bit of variety in my dice. I did wonder about giving the firelord an ability to "supercharge" its flames so they can partially...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    That reminds me, are we going to "5th level spell slot" the firelord's Innate Spellcasting wall of fire like we did its fireball and flamestrike, or leave it at the 4th-level default of 5d8?

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    That's doable. To budget that DPR wise, we need how many rounds the Tornado lasts (on average). If it typically does, say, two rounds of damage to the creature(s) caught in winds then following normal AoE guidelines it'd count as a four times the damage of a single target attack, right? So if...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Oops! Methink my copy-and-replace went slightly awry! Should be "The tornado ends if the firelord loses sight of it." That's way too much. Remember, the tornado lasts as long as the firelord can Concentrate, and it can perform actions while concentrating like attacks or casting...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    This ought to do: Tornado of Flames. A 10-foot-radius, 60-foot-tall cylinder of swirling flames magically forms on a point the efreeti firelord can see within 120 feet of it. The tornado lasts as long as the firelord maintains concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). A creature takes ##...

    Converting monsters from Tales From The Infinite Staircase

    Thought of something while updating. Do we need to stat a Psionic Master Slaiyith?
