    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    That's odd, I just noticed that the Goatfolk is missing from my home version of the Creature Catalog. The goatfolk.htm and its amendment are in my "Work Processing" folders and the Zip I downloaded to Enworld but they're AWOL from my CC Conversions folder. Wonder what happened there? Did I...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Updating Bielgorad Working Draft. We'll need to give them something to cover the "will die rather than being mind controlled" quality, but I was leaving that for later.

    Kraken Variants

    Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft. So you're suggesting what, something along the lines of four Medium katanas (1d10+6) plus two Large longswords (2d6+6) and a Huge shortsword (2d6+6) in the main statblock's Full Attack line? That seems unnecessarily...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    Unless you can see anything wrong with it! Updating The Keeper of the Key Working Draft. Well "buggy" about says it since there are three encounters with swarming beetles in OA2 and they all had different stats! I don't recall posting them and it'd be handy having the text near the...

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

    Updated the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. Okay, I'll run a quick compare-and-contrast… Okay, there are three points of divergence. First the D&D Beyond version has proficiency in WIS saves while the Enworld one has no Saving Throws listed. We need to change one to match the other. Would you...

    Converting True Dragons

    Likewise. Sure. I think with Pearl we combined the speeds of a great wyrm of every Chaotic dragon we were using as reference, but doing the same for Neutral dragons would likely give Opal different speeds and it's more consistent to the original Dragon Rulers to just copy-and-paste the speed...

    Converting monsters from Tales From The Infinite Staircase

    So change the SA from: Blood Drain (Ex): A Gargantuan slaiyith can drain blood from a grabbed opponent, dealing 1d8 point of Constitution damage each round it maintains the hold. To: Blood Drain (Ex): A master slaiyith's blood drain deals 1d8 Constitution damage each round it maintains its...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    We should discuss the accreditation for the Bleak One. It doesn't have monster stats in any D&D product. The only TSR published text I can find about it is a brief mention in the story outline for the Fritz Leiber tale it appears in. So should we I add: Note: This creature appears in the...

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

    Let's make it "insatiable thirst for blood" then. Well it doesn't bother me. Doesn't every living dead monster use it as a noun in its type line, including the Scarlet Mist's "Medium undead, neutral evil"? That said, I have no objection to tweaking the first paragraph if it'll make you...

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

    How's this… A scarlet mist is a vaporous undead whose body is a clump of fog that stinks of blood. It turns into streamers of mist when moving rapidly but must coalesce into a ghostly humanoid shape to attack. Despite the name a scarlet mist is normally as white as a cloud, but it flushes...

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

    Updating the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. So are we done apart from the Description?

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

    Okay, so I'm eyeballing the above damage amounts as giving an Offensive CR of 5, so we need a Defensive CR about the same to make the whole creature Challenge 5 (1,800) like we intend. It's got Resistances to a LOT of things but I don't think it qualifies for the "Flies and can deal damage at...

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

    The rule of thumb is to double the AoE damage, so if we want the DPR to be roughly equivalent the Wave should do about half the damage of the Drain. So, if we make the Wave 2d6+2d6 then the Life Drain should be about 28 DPR, which'd require the dice portion to be about 25 if it's still a single...

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

    Somehow the above lost a "plus", it should be: Wave of Lethargy. Every creature within 10 feet of the scarlet mist must succeed at a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take # (#d#) psychic damage plus # (#d#) necrotic damage (increased to ## (#d#) necrotic damage if target affected by the...

    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    Eh? The size of the dragon form is determined by the Size and Type section. As per the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft. I'm getting a bit confused as to what's the issue here. Could you propose an alternative wording that'd work for you? My plan was to include sample...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    If you don't have any preferences for the next Dragon Mag monster, maybe we could continue converting the monsters from the original Creature Catalog that the Ihagnim debuted in? There's eight remaining: Corkie, Fachan, Flailtail, Millikan, Seastar, Scallion, Giant Shrike and Sind. The Fachan...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I believe so. Updating the Ihagnim. Do you have any preferences for the next conversion on this thread? It's been a while since I checked my Want List.

    Assuming you're OK with the rest of the text, I'll update the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. The previous version had:

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

    Well the easy way to achieve that is just not have it require recharge. The original was an at-will power, so we could do the same for this version.
