I agree with the effects. It still might be worth adding a bit of flavor text that mentions a silvery-grey colour. How about adding it to the end of the third sentence, like this: The victim's skin and eyes become sensistive to sunlight, and take on a silvery-grey shade that is easily noticed...

I think I prefer the wording of the Aoa to what I originally suggested. It is shorter and also adds that great gaze reflection. That really fits in well with the other stuff we have. If I were writing the silver silatic for 2nd edition, I'd put it on an equal footing with the Magic Resistance...

The original had the number appearing as 1-6. That would seem to suggest that a clan would be 2-6 giants. They say elsewhere that a clan consists of a male (with full hp), then 1-3 wives. Any more giants in a clan are children or unmaried siblings of the clan leader. But I'm not sure that 6 is...

I was originally thinking of skin sensitivity rather than sight sensitivity, but I suppose eyesight problems would fit in with the afflicted creature having eyes that turn grey in sunlight. But this condition was supposed to be a permanant one. Maybe it is too hard to implement. Maybe we should...

It already says Duel rock throwing in the Special Attacks section, but not below the stats yet. It is stil listed as Rock Throwing (Ex) there. I'm wondering about the Rock Catching (Ex). If the Ogre Giant can throw two rocks at once, should it be able to catch two rocks at once? (I'd guess that...

I prefer the Beyond the Moons change to Tactical Raiting (TR) as it avoids confusion with Spell Resistance. One thing people often forget about is that TR only comes into play during wildspace combat or manouvering (take off, landing and docking). Most of the time spelljamming ships all travel...

Thanks. I tried my best to make it fit in with several similar things. The (Sp) was a guess, because I didn't think this was a (Ex) any more. So if you think this is (Su) feel free to change it.

The reduced damage is a nice touch. Erm. I can't see this. Where is it? Fair enough. It saves inventing an ability. That is good, because it swaps one ability for another and keeps the total abilities down. A shield of Great Reflection has a mechanic that might help: That is epic, and I...

This sounds good. The "once per round" makes it very clear.

Yay! It might still be worth getting a couple of things (like that last Horde monster and the remaining oozes) out of the way to keep the first page of Monster Talk uncluttered. I've not really followed the Birthright and Ravenloft communities, but they did seem to be pretty cool, when I...

Ooops. I think I missed the transition from the last monster to this one. Sorry for any confusion I caused. I never used the original, but the conversion is looking pretty good. There is a bit of text linking this creature to other planes: "Ambuchar Devayam spends most of his time in Solon...

I'm not totally sure on the logic of stat placement yet - I'm guessing this is something without a forumular. However, the numbers look pretty good to me, especially Int, Wis and Cha. If the silver silatic ever starts to look a bit too powerful (and you need to cut its power) I think you could...

Depending on how strong or weedy we make it, we might not be able to justify including them all. OK. I'm onboard with putting them beween iron and gold, as there is a gap there. Somehow giving them more than 10 HD and having the silver as an "uber silatic" wouldn't feel so good. I vote for...

Yep. Scrap the Hide in Plain Sight. Is this done then? Can we make the Silver Silatic? Here is a fairly good page about silver properties. I vote for: Four 25 foot pseudopods - instead of 2 50 foot pseudopods*. (I figure that halving the length of the pseudopods will cancel out a little bit...

I'd second that, but I think the work is supposed to be done in the Converting Maztica and Horde monsters thread. (It will be great to have two finished 3rd edition campaign settings. I wonder what campaign setting is going to take 3rd place.)

According to the Total number of unconverted D&D creatures thread Maztica is finished. And according to the Pocket reference: Creatures from the Horde setting thread there is only one Horde creature left. This one: So I think it is worth getting this one monster into the queue, so that this...

My only concern is with this: "While in a blood frenzy, the ogre must attempt to attack the most recent creature or object to damage it; if that is not possible, it must attempt to attack the nearest creature instead." I can see someone trying to manipulate this into making Stonecrown Ogres...

It seems to me that the "purpose" of this monster is to be a curse on the land and the family of the ruler of a local area. I think that the "only Sir Pellinore or one of his descendants can kill it" rule was designed to force the members of the family to fight the Questing Beast. I don't think...

Cleave is definately a good one. It is going to give the Gold Silatic a forth attack from time to time and that is a type of speed. Moving fast, doesn't make as much sense as a feat that grants extra attacks. The reach of a silatic is amazing, so an additional attack (when Cleave kicks in) will...

Its looking good so far. Although I think the advancement is wrong as it starts at 9 (and they are already 9). I think it should be: Advancement: 10-18 HD (Medium); 19-27 HD (Large) I think so, although I don't think it should be able to fight while hiding in plain sight. It looks that way...
