    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    I'm not overly fussed either way. Guess it depends on whether we're scaling it on the 60 feet of a typical Adult Dragon conical breath weapon or the 90 foot cone that Ancient Dragons go for. Hmm, I suppose the approx Challenge 20 of the Firelord is more in the Ancient Dragon range (CR 20 to...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Updated the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft with the "erupts" tweak.

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    So how strongly attached to a 90 foot range are you?

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Somehow I suspected that's what you'd say. I'm not amiss to making it 90 feet if you're particularly keen. Am wondering about tweaking the "blossoms into an inferno" wording to "erupts in an inferno." The original used "blossoms" because I was cribbing heavily off the SRD description of fireball.

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Okay, let's figure out the details then. Might as well do them in order. How's this: Invoked Inferno (Recharge 5–6). A point within ## feet of the efreeti firelord blossoms into an inferno. Every creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point is affected. The inferno spreads...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Hmm, how about if the concussive option actually causes concussion. Like a CON save or be stunned for a bit? Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft.

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Well they both have the trait of becoming more vulnerable once they're "sated" on blood. Let's see, what else is there… The AD&D Vampiric Mist has a complicated blood feeding mechanism. At full strength it has 24 hit points (the maximum of its 3 Hit Dice), but it loses 1 hit points for every...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Good-oh. I'll swap the name in the next update. Okay, I have three rough ideas for Actions: Invoked Inferno (Recharge #-6?) maybe resembles a metallic dragon's breath weapon or high-level spell?  Concussive Blast: CON save, does bludgeoning and fire damage, perhaps smaller targets that fail...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft. I tweaked the Multiattack from "or hurl flame" to "and hurl flame." Incidentally, I was tempted to change the action Flaming Punch to Incendiary Fist 'cause it sounded a bit cooler. Well, not literally cooler – you know what I mean!

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Okay, so it's the Blood Mist and Crimson Death Mist to do. To recap, we were aiming to make both of them monstrosities, and have the Blood Mist be a weakish monster based on the "living vapour" Vampiric Mist while the Crimson Death is a way more powerful creature like its earlier edition versions.

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    What range do you fancy for Hurl Flames? I was thinking either 120 feet of a standard Eftreet or improving it to 150 feet.

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    Suits me. We can give the Savage Coast version a subentry I guess. Will start a blank Working Draft and post the original stats.

    Y'okay. I'll add the WIS save to the Scarlet Mist Working Draft so they'll match and we can declare this one done… …and it's added.

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Never underestimate the amount of barminess in the multiverse. Yeah, it's pretty straightforward as most of the entries will be "same as the modron" apart from its class-equivalent spellcasting. So, first question is what are we calling the template! Modronoid Transplant? Brainswapped...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    Yeesh. I don't have the energy to compare six sets of stats right now, so checking these will have to wait for later. What about the Mystaran Dragonfly Nymph? Basic questions are: Will we give it the same DEX and CON saves as the adults or cut it down to CON save only or no save proficiency...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Well it looks like we've got the Special Traits all nailed down so it's time for the Actions. How about starting with Multiattack and its components. Say: Multiattack. The efreeti firelord makes three attacks using any combination of fiery falchion, flaming punch, or hurl flame. Fiery...
