    unnamed eagle-like giant bird - SJR4 Practical Planetology I've just been wikifiying information from Practical Planetology and have noticed stats for an unnamed eagle-like bird on page 35. Here is the very sparse amount of information that is there: So is a giant eagle-like bird, with claws...

    Looking for an Unconverted spreadsheet

    What exactly are you after? If you just want a list of the names and the sources, you could use Echohawk's spread sheet and get it to only display the first edition monsters. If you want actual game stats (i.e. AC, Dex scores and the like) you would probably need to compile that sort of thing...

    Green Ronin and 4E

    Well, I'm personally sticking with 3rd edition, so OGL products that have "3.5 SRD" on them (instead of the soon to be illegal d20 System logo) would be good for me. But good luck with whatever you do.

    Unconverted Dragon magazine creatures

    I thought you might, but also thought it was possible that you wouldn't. I should have posted my earlier comment at the same time as the SJ beholder comment (in the other thread). I was in a bit of a hurry at the time, then realised that this one might get missed. Hmm. It must be hard to know...

    Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

    Fair enough. I just want to see things that are easy to use, so if the lycanthrope template has problems it wouldn't be the thing to copy. (I would ask what the problem with the lycanthrope is, but don't want to hijack the thread. :angel: I'm assuming it is the X + Y nature, that makes it hard...

    Unconverted Lankhmar creatures

    You didn't mention Legends and Lore (2nd edition AD&D), which has a Lankhmar section and also includes some of these monsters. The Marsh Vulture is in Legends and Lore. The Astral Wolf and Nehwon Ghoul are also in Legends and Lore. These seven are also in Legends and Lore. (The Snow...

    Should we convert monsters from 4th edition?

    I wouldn't want to go against WotC's legal team either. It could potentially cause the rest of the conversions to get pulled. I'm interested in Pathfinder RPG. I can see myself moving totally to 3.5 and importing Pathfinder and 3.0 material as house rules. So I think it would be great to...

    Paging Echohawk...

    Page 194 of Races of Ansalon has the Nzunta (Dark Irda) and Mischata (Twilight Ogres). Nzunta ae said to be identical in stats to Irda and Mischata look identical to Irda, but have modified stats. The same page also mentions the Orughi (they Nzunta's aquatic half-ogre slaves) and says they are...

    Should we convert monsters from 4th edition?

    OK, here is a question. (I'm not sure if the answer to this question will be "42" :p ), but here goes: Should the Creature Catalogue finish converting OD&D monsters, AD&D monsters and update 3.0 conversions and then shut up shop? or Should the Creature Catalogue finish the conversions and the...

    Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

    Fair point. Even though you can tell that each undead has been hobbled as a pseudo-undead, you can't tell how much hobbling is required on a case by case basis (so we would need to review and build additional pseudo-undead ourselves). However, I still think that the structure of the lycanthrope...

    Unconverted Dragon magazine creatures

    Dulsi (from The Piazza forums) tells me that there was an African Beholder in Dragon Magazine 215. I can't find it in your index, so don't know if it has been converted or been missed. Can you please add it to the appropriate lists when you have time. (In case you are interested in the original...

    October is for horror

    This seems to suggest, that beholders turn into dormant zombies instead of dying and going on to an afterlife. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be something limited to beholders in SJA1 Wildspace, or something that is supposed to be universal to all beholders and beholderkin. But core...

    Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

    Thinking about this some more, I think the Pseudo-undead could benifit from being more like the Lycanthrope of the SRD. That has several example lycanthropes (Werebear, Wereboar, Hill Giant Dire Wereboar, Wererat, Weretiger, Werewolf, Werewolf Lord) as well as a template. The example creatures...

    Creature Catalogue Overhaul Project Revisited

    That post now links here. Do you have a link to the original monster text (to save me going into my loft to look for it). If this was a set of regular monsters, I'd expect different stats for each one, so I'd say variant templates would be a good idea. I don't think they all should have...

    October is for horror

    Has anyone done the Beholder Zombie from SJA1 Wildspace? Someone over at The Piazza told me it wasn't on Echohawk's list, and I couldn't find it. It doesn't have a proper monster entry. Instead we just get this text on page 44: Beholder zombie: AC 7; MV FI 3 (B); HD 4; hp 20; #AT 1; Dmg 2-12...

    Beholder Zombie located in SJA1 Wildspace Over at The Piazza, I've been talking to a guy about beholders and he said there was a beholder zombie in SJA1 Wildspace that doesn't seem to be in your list. The basic stats are the monster summary table and a slightly better description is on page 44.

    Current Conversion Requests

    Any chance of getting some more Pocket Reference... threads going? I realise they take a lot of work to set up, but I think they are a good resource to point external conversion fans at. The two I would like to see most are: Pocket Reference: Creatures from the Greyhawk Setting and Pocket...

    Monster Indices

    Echohawk has just made this thread that you don't list here yet: Pocket reference: Creatures from the Spelljammer setting I would suggest putting it between Pocket Reference: Creatures from the Maztica Setting and Pocket Reference: Oozes You might also want to add in Pocket reference...

    CC is working again! 10 creatures added!

    Thanks EN World! Well, to use 4e marketing-speak that is "dinotastic news" for the Creature Catalogue fans! :p I think you are right to give the monsters a few days to shine in the sun. Dragonlance Lexicon limits its new articles to 10 per day to give each article a go in its RSS feed. People...

    Spelljammer Pocket reference: Creatures from the Spelljammer setting

    Thanks for this Echohawk. It is very useful. EDIT: Actually, to say it is "very useful" is a vast understatement. This is something that the 3rd edition conversion element of SJ fans is going to have on their must see list of links. I've posted a link to this thread from the Spelljammer forums...
