Here goes nothing… Updating Mystaran Dragonfly Nymph.

Here's the relevant section from The Great Modron March (1997). From Page 107 & 109: (Page 108 was a map)   Valran Stonefist’s changed considerably since the PCs saw him last. They won’t recognize him until he speaks to them. He’s placed himself in the body of a decaton, and he’s learning how...

Updated the Modronoid Working Draft. So we're done with another one! Looks like we'll update the CC Download soon since we've finally finished a few critters. That's what you thought. I thought "see if we can come up with a better handle on the Brain-Transplant Modronoid later" and it's now...

Hmm… I'd be fine giving it a slightly better AC than 20 since translating older edition monsters to 3E often gives them higher numbers than the original. So I could see us going +2 banded mail, +4 natural and Dex +1 for AC 22. As for the ability scores, I'm wondering about making Wisdom hgiher...

Come to think of it, a Colossal wakizasha does 4d6 base damage but the current draft has its slams do 4d8 damage. Isn't having it do more damage with its bare hands than a weapon a bit skewed? Although I guess it'd help explain why they don't favour Colossal weapons, although the iterative...

So are we still giving the tentacles 10 feet more reach like the current Enworld version? e.g.: Male—Space/Reach: 30 ft/30 ft (40 ft with tentacles) Female—Space/Reach: 40 ft/40 ft (50 ft with tentacles) None of the officially published krakentua had weapons for their enormous hands, either...

Carnivorous Beetle Swarm Tiny Vermin (Swarm) Hit Dice: d8+ ( hp) Initiative: +– Speed: ft. ( squares) Armor Class: 1 (+– size, Dex, + natural), touch 1, flat-footed 1 Base Attack/Grapple: +/— Attack: Swarm (#d#) Full Attack: Swarm (#d#) Space/Reach: 10 ft./0 ft. Special Attacks: — Special...

Might as well post a Working Draft for the killer beetles…

Yeah, I think it's going the CC is going to stay here for now. Even if it does get reborn as a Wiki the Download version would presumably keep going here.

How about this: In life, the Keeper was a religious fanatic whose devotion to nihilistic mysticism was instrumental in the Seven Swords' descent into undeath. His title, the Keeper of the Keys, referred to his authority over the clan castle's gates, treasury strongboxes, and the horrendous...

I'm fine with the current possessions of chimes, mithral shirt and spell pouch. So for the "In life" bit we, as usual, have little to go on. Presumably he was keen on religion when alive, being a sohei who haunts a shrine. The Keeper is Neutral Evil, so is there anything we can infer from...

Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. I'll go for time stop but would keep shades.

Let's see, the original 2E AD&D version doesn't give much detail. AC 5, 1 or 2 Hit Dice, MV 6, Sw 12, and rather piddly damage of 1d2 bite plus a 1 or 2 point acid breath. I guess we'll do one based on the slightly stronger 2 HD version and then decide whether to leave it at that or add a...

Okay, let's proceed… So how true to the original 4E version's Siphoning Presence, Life Drain and Wave of Lethargy do we want to be? The version from Daniel Helmick's Vainglorious had. A somewhat literal interpretation of the Trait could be: Siphoning Aura. Whenever a creature ends its turn...

Updating… Black Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. Blue Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. Gold Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. Green Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. Red Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. White Mystaran Dragonfly Working Draft. So are these done now? That just leaves the...

Good-oh. I'll put Darting Flight in the Collected Mystaran Dragonflies and start adding Descriptions to the individual entries.

Updating the Slaiyith Working Draft. I just boosted the Con damage 'cause it was bigger. Don't believe there's a RAW rule about size advancement increasing physical attack-linked ability damage. Going by the many, many published examples of size advanced monsters with poison, blood drain, et...

Just noticed that all of my Giant Odonatid adults had a "It cannot use Burst of Speed if it used Dodging Flight after the start of its previous turn" that should be "It cannot use Dashing Flight" since I renamed that Bonus Action from Burst of Speed to Dashing Flight. They've all been...

I'm wondering about juicing up the current Dashing Flight based on an airborne version of the Scarlet Death's Shifting Mists: Darting Flight. The mystaran dragonfly can disengage or dash as a bonus action when flying. It cannot use Darting Flight if it used Dodging Flight after the start of its...

Not necessarily. An unusual fact is more surprising than a mundane fact just as a highly astonishing fact is more surprising than a slightly odd fact. I found the last couple of sentences a bit clunky anyway, so I'm revising it to:  Magical Mutant Insects: A bizarre combination of a finger...
