I'll change the first paragraph from: Devour (Su): An ihagnim can try to devour a grabbed opponent its own size or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once devoured, the opponent is consumed in 1 round. The ihagnim destroys the victim's body and prevents any form of raising or...

We've still got the Bielgorad and their demon lord Bielgorna to stat up, but at least those don't have Goat Magic and Resonance like the caprine. So would you like to start on the Bielgorad? I'll post the original Goatmen of Kavaja text here for reference: Bielgorad Armour Class: 0 Hit Dice...

The AD&D stat blocks listed 7 tentacle attacks plus 2 fist attacks in NO. OF ATTACKS, its just the Combat text omitted to say how much the female's fists did. Anyhows, I'm fine giving both sexes the same base fist damage. We gave the 3.0 conversion 2d6 damage for the slams, which is the same as...

Yeah, I wondered about that too but opted to keep the first draft simple. The original text didn't say anything about limits of distance or plane regarding the link, nor whether it was possible to sever the link or restore either or both of the creatures to their previous state. Presumably...

Agreed. Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. I'm happy to swap out a spell, but baleful polymorph seems superfluous to a creature with polymorph any object. How about giving it true seeing instead of mirage arcana and swap the Cleric Spells Prepared's true seeing for death ward or...

Yes, I too was thinking of making it Challenge Rating 7 since it's equivalent to two CR 5 lizards. How about making it equivalent to a 7th-level geas with CL 15th and Will save DC 20. Such as? I can't think of anything they need mechanically and am reluctant to invent flavour text that isn't...

Works for me too. Don't care for banishment but greater shadow conjuration is good. For "knock out of combat" applications, don't forcecage or symbol of stunning have more general functionality? Also, these are revered elder statesmen among the Slaiyith so how about a divination spell to...

I thought we were making the Hybrid form's bite do damage as a one size smaller dragon too. That is: Damage: Same as base creature or base dragon, depending on which form the weredragon is using. In hybrid form, the claw attacks have the damage of a dragon of the same size, while the bite, wing...

That's odd. I'm sure I posted a reply but it appears to have vanished. Anyhows, its interior is pretty tough as it has full Natural Armour on its stomach. Also, the swallowed victim only has one round to cut their way out before they're annihilated so the question is, how much chance do we want...

I think the current 2nd-level spells of darkness and hold person have far more utility than death knell so I'd leave them as-is, but change the bane to doom. With a +15 bonus from Acrobatics we don't need that many ranks for respectable modifiers in those skills. I'd rather give it some...

Updating the Caprine Working Draft. So I guess we can put this thread to bed for a while and move on with some other conversions?

Works for me. So which of the two do you prefer, or are you proposing giving the genders different base damage for the slams? The 2E AD&D Monstrous Compendium entries for the monster didn't list a punch damage for the female krakentua, but just says "A male krakentua can attack with his fists...

Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. Yeah, let's keep it a one-to-one link if only for the sake of simplicity. So something like. Linked Modron (Ex): A modronoid's construct parts are implants taken from a base modron that is kept alive in a helpless condition. If either the base modron or...

Works for me. Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. Note we're giving Opal the cleric version of remove curse rather than the sorcerer version (since he can get it a spell level lower using his cleric-as-arcane spell ability). Should I add a note to that effect? Opal is already immune...

Bleak One (CR 7) A small, pale skinned man in dull nondescript clothes with pale, lifeless eyes and a completely hairless bald head. He whispers "The Bleak Shore" and vanishes as if he were never there. This creature is actually an intangible quasi-real illusion similar to the shadow duplicate...

Fine. Updating the Slaiyith Working Draft. Happy with antimagic field but freezing sphere does little for me. How about contingency or legend lore?

The start of that looks fine, but if we give the hybrid form wing & tail attacks I'd treat them as a size smaller than the dragon form.

Will sort that out with the next update… …Updating the Ihagnim. There's no rule about cutting your way free in the original monster. The only method to escape that's mention is applying poison to its interior. So presumably the victim would have to do enough damage to kill the Ihagnim to...

Updating The Keeper of the Key Working Draft with the fighter feats. So you're proposing Improved Initiative, Power Critical (chimes), Rapid Shot, Stand Still and dropping Reckless Offense as an option? That's four feats, so we still need a fifth. I'd lean towards a spell-enhancing feat like...

Agreed. I'd add Search to that list as it has a racial bonus in that skill. So Concentration, Know (nature), Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Perform, Search, Spot, Tumbling. Hmm… suitable comparisons would be: Elf (Int 10): Elves speak Elven, and most also know Common and Sylvan. Dryad (Int...
