Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. Hang about, eighth level? You've skipped the seventh level spells. Either of those two are worthy spells, but I don't think they're worth a Sorcerer slot. It's unlikely Opal will need to use them multiple times. We can always swap an 8th-level...

Works for me. Not the most exciting of collections but it's easy to adjudicate. That leaves Skills. It needs 189 Skill Points worth, or seven maxed-out Skills. The base Slaiyith has 114 SPs, which it divided between six maxed-out skills: Concentration, two Knowledges, Listen, Spot and...

That means the Bleak One is done, but we still need a Background section for the Gladiator Lizard.

A True Dragons' natural attacks depend on their size category not their LA, so I'm unclear why you think the current wording doesn't allow a weredragon in Large dragon form to use wings and tail slap attacks. Would rewording it to be more explicit help? Come to think of it, the Damage should...

Works for me. Updating the Ihagnim. I've removed the "Hide –6* [+10 on Astral Plane]" and "Skills: An ihagnim's translucent body grants it a +16 racial bonus on Hide checks against the background of the Astral Plane." If we've using take 10 for the previous Hide +10 then should we bump the...

Posted a placeholder Bielgorad Working Draft.

Bielgorad Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil, Goatkin?) Hit Dice: 6d8+ ( hp) Initiative: +– Speed: 30 ft. in banded armor (6 squares); base speed 40 ft. Armor Class: 22 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural, +2 banded armor), touch 10, flat-footed 21 Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+14 Attack: Crook +9...

Well compared to the Goatkin they ain't complicated but that isn't saying much. Yup. What subtypes if any do they have? I can see (Goatkin) or possibly even (Goatkin, Tanar'ri) for them. Also, are there any existing monsters we can use as models or inspiration. Maybe Minotaurs or one of...

Hmm, so long as it does a bit less with its punching than if it picks up a decent weapon I'm OK with its. Let's see, a Colossal katana does 6d8 damage which averages to 27. That's more than the 22 average of 4d10. Although that begs the question of what its damage becomes should it gain the...

Agreed. Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. So we're all done apart from the background?

Yeah, let's just go for the average for male humans as we don't have anything else to go on. How about: The Keeper of the Keys and uses ghost step to maneuver around the battlefield with little risk of being struck by enemies. It favors melee combat but will use missiles and spells to soften...

I'd assume it's possible but it's not something either Freyar nor I could do. We don't have any admin rights over Enworld. We used to be able to edit and update monster entries to the old Creature Catalog website, but that was the limit of our powers. The original arrangement Scott Greene...

I prefer Pearl's spell selection to swapping out veil.

Come to think of it, how about limited wish instead of vision for the 7th-level spells known? Being a monster there's not much need to worry about the XP cost.

Reupdated the Index and just noticed I'd accidentally overwritten Post #2 with Post #1 the last time I did the update. No irreparable harm done. I have an archive of this thread to I just reoverwrote Post #2 with the original text.

The old Creature Catalog had really kludged together coding that required a server running obsolete PHP and going by the backup Darjr sent me all those years ago it lost some of its data during one of those crashes, which is why a few of the older monster entries went AWOL. After looking into...

Works for me. If I recall the original story accurately the Grey Mouser cracked open the egg with one blow, suggesting it wasn't that tough since he is more a finesse fighter than a muscular powerhouse like Fafhrd. So how about we go for hardness 5 and split the difference on the health to...

Why would we need to shift the spell selection for Metamagic feats? Sorcerers cast them spontaneously. Of the standard Metamagic, I don't find them very tempting but I'll listen to counterarguments. I was thinking more of giving it Spell Focus (illusion) since most of the non-enchantment spells...

It's the principle of the thing! Also, you're forgetting that the template includes Giants, so a Huge giant can turn into a Huge dragon even if the base dragon is a Tiny wyrmling: Updating the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft.

Also realized another issue. Giving it +16 to Hide on the Astral Plane isn't much help since there's little to no Concealment on the astral so how would it make a Hide check? Should we give it a Special Quality to either (a) make Hide checks without anything to hide behind, like the ranger's...
