I think this is going to be hard work, but as one of you said in another thread, that will make it fun. The problem is the bits of text that are in conflict with each other. Whatever we do with this, I can see someone out there looking at the original and thinking we have made a mistake. If we...

Doh! ;) I get you. You are kind of dividing the 200 minutes up into one minute puffs. From a dispel point of view, it probably makes more sense. You could even have the cloud act as an area dispel and only knock out one magic item per breath. Then it could have very similar wording to the...

Should the word Dragons in the first post link to the Converting True Dragons thread? That is about True Dragons and the dragon subtype would contain creatures that are not true dragons. Mind you the first post of the Converting True Dragons actually has more than 25 creatures in it. So if this...

Thanks for letting me know. I suppose we will have to work that sort of thing out as we go along (assuming it is possible). I know the Planescape fans would love to know as they could then create an index of elementals and outsiders for each plane and turn it into an encounter table.

I think the "lack of oxygen" part of the breath weapon should have the same effect as drowning (rules wise). I've got no problem with the cloud hanging around for 10 turns (100 minutes). After all, this cloud can only be created twice a day. I think the anti-magic part of the cloud should have...

I'll take you word for it on that. It sounds like you have checked them all. Anyway, do you think a stat bonus for hiding and climbing in environments involving stone and earth would sort out this issue? If you do we can move on to the next problem. If you don't we will need to find another way...

You might be right there...on both counts. I think we might need to look at each of these unusual things you have brought up one at a time. I can buy a monster that can live (for a while) without its head, but I'd expect it to attempt to grab its head and retreat...or perhaps surrender on...

You can download this if it helps WotC have put OA5 - Mad Monkey vs the Dragon Claws on their previous edition downloads page. You can download the entire module if it helps work out what these beasties do.

I've looked through this a few times and there are a few bits I find very confusing. It is an interesting monster, but I need to work out what the author was intending. I don't think it is written very well. No real problems with this apart from the excessive amount of "see below". Wow. This...

One of the beauties of Spelljammer, is that you can take all the unloved creatures that Wizards of the Coast didn't want to convert, and scatter them across as many planets as it takes to realistically space them out. A ship and a spelljamming helm can take a bunch of players from a place where...

I just asked the same question somewhere else. Candlekeep publish a PDF magazine called Candlekeep Compendium, so they might be able to help organise this. The section 15 entries of Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 1 and Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 are very long and include non-Maztica...

I might have missed the answer to this but if this monster should this monster gain Improved Unarmed Strike? That would seem to fit in with the spirit of the words: "It can squeeze its captured foe for 2d8 points of damage per round, but it rarely tries to damage opponents this way, preferring...

I've just chased my tail over this monster. At first I thought the Helion might be related to the Helian from Spelljammer (and later Planescape), but they are very different. (Although I only found that out after digging out SJR2 Realmspace.) Maybe the Helian was a reboot of this monster. This...

Have you got a breakdown of the number of creatures per elemental plane? (Or in third edition terms elemental subtype.) Ditto to the outsiders. Are they associated with specific trasitive or outer planes? I'm sure the Planescape fans would love to see these 127 monsters get finished (along...

I love them all and can't wait to tell the SJML (Spelljammer Mailing List) about them. Thanks for bumping the silatics to the top of the queue for me. And thanks for doing the silver silatic, which was fun, but didn't reduce your number of unconverted oozes. I might as well stick around. I...

Re: Birch Tree Spirit This sounds like it is going to have features of a Dryad, especially "Tree Dependent": Tree Dependent (Su) Each dryad is mystically bound to a single, enormous oak tree and must never stray more than 300 yards from it. Any who do become ill and die within 4d6 hours. A...

That was what I was getting at. The original version goes out of its way to say that children are like common ogres, but I hadn't seen that on other monsters and didn't know if that sort of detail was something that was outdated by 3rd edition convention.

The Imagine creatures are down from 5 to 4. I'm looking forward to seeing it join Maztica at the top of the page. I realise that you still have a lot of work to do, but, as someone who loved 2nd edition's mass of campaign settings, it is great to see Creature Catalog slowly finishing off the...

This one needs removing from the first post. BTW: What happens to your first post when you get the last four done? Does it vanish in a puff of smoke or are you going to replace the post with the word "NONE" in large friendly letters. :D

Ogre Giant Children The Ogre Giant itself is done, but I've got a small question about thier children. The original write up says to treat them as Common Ogre's, but you haven't mentioned what to do with them in the conversion. Should they be run as standard Ogres? (Maybe with a bit of flavor...
