    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    Thanks for the clarification. I think the latter would be more fun, but the text of Ability Focus only mentions the DC (and not any other effects): I think they would actually say if this made other things change (as well as the DC). Also the other ... Focus feats also seem to only affect the...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    Hmm. I didn't anything about changing the "remain in contact" DC on the Ooze over at the Hypertext d20 SRD (and that claims to be 3.5). I kind of assumed the "remain in contact" thing was the Ooze version of a full attack. Here is the Black Pudding: As you can see, it doesn't mentinon any...

    Current Conversion Requests

    Conversion request Any chance of getting a Converting Spelljammer monsters thread, next time one of the other Converting...monsters threads gets finished and a slot is available? I don't especially care if the thread is slower that other conversion threads, but I'd like to see at least 10 of...

    Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

    Yay! More Spelljammer monsters in the queue. :cool: Please poke me when you get that far down the list. I'm not sure these monsters actually belong in a Greyhawk thread. They are from Greyspace, but the Horg stick to The Grinder and the porton and Skykine are planet bound creatures from other...

    Good luck with your business trip. Try not to mix your presentation files up with your D&D files. You don't want to be doing a PowerPoint presentation about Oozes! :D ;)

    Unconverted Greyhawk creatures

    FYI: Help requested on Canonfire! forum I've already tried to recruit people for some of the other campaign settings with missing monsters. Somehow I forgot to do Canonfire! Here is a link to my ENWorld "Unconverted Greyhawk creatures" project thread at Canonfire! I hope that a few people come...

    Unconverted D&D creatures

    I'm confused by your current Greyhawk totals I count 27 creatures in the Unconverted Greyhawk Creatures thread (not 26). Have you found another missing monster and added it to the Unconverted Greyhawk Creatures thread but forgotten to add it here? Or have you converted a Greyhawk monster and...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    Tripple damage sometimes seems to fit in better than double damage more often. Ranged sunder also seems to fit in well with the original version. I like it. But can weapons "crack skulls" in third edition? That sounds more like a called shot, kind-of effect. I realise this is just flavor text...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    I'm not sure if 200 lb is good as an average weight for all types of Silatic. The blurb says that a dead silatic contains 1d10 lbs of metal per HD. So an Iron Silatic contains 6d10 lbs of iron, but a Platinum Silatic contains 10d10 lbs of platinum. They are both the same size (in the original...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    I had a look in the Monster Indices thread, but although it lists a bunch of useful "All the Different Types of..." threads, there isn't yet one for ogres. Orcs have been done, but not Ogres. If you think this information would help, maybe now would be a good time for the "All the Different...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    Great. I'm onboard with that. Thanks for the info. It is very useful. Hopefully this information can be put into the Monster Conversion Notes at some point. That would seem to be a lot easier to administer. Seeing as we added it, I don't see any reason not to make this a sickening effect...

    Complete D&D Monster Index (April 2008)

    UG! You are right. I've got two copies in two different places (one in my 3e folder and one in my 3.5e folder). I'll have to delete the December copy, so I don't use it again. Sorry for wasting your time.

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    I like the second option too. It is a lot shorter, so is less for a DM to learn. I do like your Will save idea as the alternative would be a bunch of Stonecrown Ogres biting their tongues to cause a point of damage that gives them the extra attack. However, shouldn't the "training" count as a...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    I am happy with 2d8 acid damage. We just need to agree on the actual text of the Acid ability. Should a Platinum Silatic's pseudopods be constantly coated with acid, or should they follow the same sort of pattern as the metal digesting fluids? The original write up seems to suggest they are...

    Complete D&D Monster Index (April 2008)

    I've spotted another bug to fix in the next version of the index. You have three entries on the Sources tab that have "Raveloft" instead of "Ravenloft" listed as the setting. (For those who don't remember, Raveloft is the little known campaign setting featuring a bunch of people who have a...

    Quoth the Server - 404!

    Maybe you should update your 404 error to include that information. It currently tells all people finding 404 error messages to post in this thread. (Alternatively, maybe you could post a bunch of contact links in the first post of this thread.) I just read though this entire thread looking for...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    Two more Spelljammer creatures - yay! Somebody poke me when you get to these guys. :cool: (Bosk Giants and Swamp Giants live on the planet Chislev, so it might be worth looking at the Dragonlance god Chislev, and the other two Dragonlance nature gods - Habbakuk and Zeboim for ideas. The...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    The irritation thing, is hard to include with the Platinum Silatic not getting "called shots" to attack the eyes, noses and mouths of its opponents. And even if it did get called shots, it probably wouldn't understand what bits of its opponents to attack. So I'd suggest this would need to be...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    Nerf? The only "nerf"s I know are "scruffy looking nerf herders" and the combat game. I take it you mean "cut down" the acid attack to Digest Metal levels. I think the essential core of these monsters is that they eat metal, but can't dissolve flesh. It is what makes them different from an...

    I'm still here. I just had a week holiday and am catching up on what you have been doing. EDIT: I've caught up - see below for my thoughts. :)
