If you think my comments on the split are nothing to worry about then maybe it is done. As "Split" is now personalised for the individual silatics, do you think it is worth personalising "Metalsense". After all it is already partly personalised to iron. Plus I also think that an Iron Silatic...

I figured that is why you added it, and I like the ability. I just thought that this might need clarification in the blurb. "Any" will do. A note in the blurb that says that silatics don't breath and often hide in uninhabitable areas could be helpful. 6 inches is standard, huh? If that is...

I suppose you have to draw the line somewhere to get a project like this finished. There is always going to be someone who would appreciate getting one more bit of detail added on. And then one other more thing and something else and a bit more stuff. I, for example, like to know ECL of...

Thanks for the speedy answer. I thought it might be that, but wasn't certain. This index is something that must have involved years of work, so it is a miricle that it is actually finished. If I see any bugs I'll report them in the thread where you last post the index. (And I'll make sure I'm...

They seem pretty logical. Sounds good, but should Improved Sunder only work against metal weapons? What is the basis behind the sundering? Is the silatic supposed to be good at disarming people or is it supposed to be good at grabbing metal weapons out of the hands of characters? I'd say the...

Hmm. I make that 13 - not 12. Why does the Total number of unconverted D&D creatures thread say you have this down to 12? Is this list wrong, or is the other thread wrong?

There is no Spelljamming port in Palanthas in the SJ novels, either. So you are talking of a case where one product conflicts with all other products. Picking a SJ product vs a DL product isn't really the best example. I think most SJ fans don't want a Spelljamming port in Palanthas either...

The big problem with Wikipedia editing policy, is that like everything else it is voted on by the masses. From what I understand, the anti-D&D delitionists have quitely moved the goalposts by getting policies changed and then used the altered policies as arguments for deletion. I don't dispute...

Thanks for all your hard work Echohawk. It is really amazing to see how many monsters D&D has. The sizes of Noble Draconians that are missing from your Dragons of Krynn entries. I don't know if your "rules" forbid you from using other sources to fill in missing information. If not, you might...

I do share your concerns on this one. I'm not sure we should have too much scientific knowledge in D&D. But you could solve the problem by making this a magnetic grapple attack bonus. If an Iron Silatic could magnetise itself (X times per day) it could stick to metals that were magnetic (and get...

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy the last couple of evenings. I like this, but it is a bit similar to an existing ability, so maybe we can fold it it. All Silatics can flatten themselves out to a one inch thickness and have improved hide checks. Maybe Gold Silatics could just have improved...

That is great (and sounds better than Detect Metal). However, I think we ought to mention that Metalsense allows a Silatic to detect another Silatic of the same metal type. How about this?: Metalsense (Ex): A silatic ooze can sense the location and amount of its associated metal within a...

Given that the Iron and Platinum Silatics, both had +3 damage, I would say that cancels out the "specialness" of that ability. So we get left with an Iron Silatic that has high magic resistance vs a Platinum or Gold Silatic that has a low magic resistance. It doesn't look quite so special when...

I can't see any problems with that. We know that the silatics like to stow away on spelljamming ships to hitch a ride from one place to another, so they must have some brains to be able to where to find a ship. The +3 was presented as a special attack, rather than increased strength. If the...

...as one silatic said to the other! :p ...before he ate him! :p

I've been collecting D&D links in the links section of my Yahoo Group. Here are my Conversion links. So far I've got links to: Dark Sun conversions at Athas.org, Dragonlance Conversions at Dragonlance Nexus, Greyhawk Conversions at the Living Greyhawk page, Planescape Conversions at...

Aggressive nature of silatics - CR of silatics ...and... ...and... ...and... I've just realised why silatics of the same type are hostile, but silatics of other types are not hostile. They don't actually dislike each other. They just want to eat each other! Each silatic is made of the...

Iron Silatic (1st draft) The 2e stats has these all down as being 5-7 feet in diameter, which would make all three Medium Oozes. Are we going to stick with that or scale them up in size in proportion to their HD? I'll assume (for now) we are sticking with Medium Ooze. Is this bestie an "Iron...

That might help avoid confusion between variant abilities if we did one first. How about doing the Iron Silatic first as it has less special attacks than the other cretures (despite what the blurb says). Better magic resistance (than other Silatics) should be easy and the +3 damage can be...

I've just re-read the blurb and I'm not happy with this. The Khargra Digest Metal doesn't work for me either. I'm happy with chaining this off of an acid like digestive fluid (that only effects metal), but I think that 21 points of damage is too much and I think that the damage is too fast. I...
