    Congratulations! :) ...so then...what stats does Baby Logan have? And what are his advancement options? :p

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    So we make the updated version just change its AC instead of its AC and its HD? That is likely to make the final stage (the shape changing) happen a bit faster. Agreed on the medium sized. I can imagine suction cups slowing people down, but then again I can imagine the tentacles whipping...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    I'm glad the Carnivorous Wall is finally done. That was a lot more work than some other monsters. The Pyrophoric Fluid was pretty good. The Imorph also looks like it is going to be tough. As freyar said: it is weird. I'd agree that it is an abberation, rather than an ooze as it has suction...

    Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

    Fair enough. We can recycle that idea for something else. I think they should have a spell-like ability that lets them speak other languages. That will let them gain more victims.

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    Mechanically, I think that Shield Other could help keep the body of the bloodthorn alive. If the bloodthorn could transfer a certain amount of damage from its body into its tendrils, it could allow its tendrils to die to keep its body alive. However, the original creature had no such sort of...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    I already agreed with Freyar on this point. The coup de grace vulnerability was a suggestion for an alternative way to handle this, but I now think that was also wrong. I stand corrected. But my point is that in the original monster it was easier to hit the tendrils than the body, but now it...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    Thanks for the info. I'll go with you (or others) on this. If all dragons makes these giants easier to reuse, I'll go with all dragons. IN this sentence: "For every 10 giants encountered, there is a 30% chance one is a shaman, a giant who is the equivalent of a 1st-6th level druid." The...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    OK. Lets see what we can work out from Sully - the swamp giant king. Looks like they use a forename and then their clan name. These stats are both above and below what Shade has. Sully has 96 points in total and Shade's swamp giant has 100 points. Now they call him Sullly of the Harvest...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    Oh, and I forgot to mention that swamp giant hairdressers are better than bosk giant hairdressers! :p At least one of them must be useful.;) You are right. I should have said 5th level. I mixed up spell level with spellcasting level. Doh! :blush: Is there a lot of precident for giving...

    Swamp Giant NPC I don't know if you want to convert this guy (as a swamp giant NPC) or just use his stats and fluff as a guide, but I think he is useful: Sully Gatherer-Clan Name: Sully Gatherer-Clan Occupation: Swamp Giant King Str: 24 Int: 10 Dex: 12 Cha: 18 Wis: 10 Con: 22 Sully of the...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    ...and... This environment should have a bearing on the sort of equipment they make and the treasure they "drop". ...and... Organization: Solitary, hunting party (2-3 giants) or village (x). You have the slam damage as 1d6+9. Shouldn't it be 1d8+9? (Or is there a general lowering of...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    I'm not massively attached to the spitting ability. I just thought that it was something people would expect to be there. Maybe the infants have stomachs that are too small to allow them to spit water. Maybe the juvenile bosk giants can only spit once (instead of twice) because they can only...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    That is you agreeing with me agreeing with you. :) Sounds right to me. You are quite right. Chop out that stuff. A tendril-less arid bloodthorn wouldn't automatically be dead, but without any defence should possibly be vulnerable to a Coup de Grace attack (even though it isn't normally...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    ...and... What about giving the kids a spit ability that is less effective. If infants have smaller stomachs maybe they can spit but can't do damage. You could give them a Swamp Spit ability that doesn't do any hit points, but forces spellcasters to make concentration checks. (Try juggling...

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    No problem. I've felt like a passenger on a lot of the conversions, so it is nice to be able to contribute something useful from time to time. Sounds good to me. I can't find anything about bosk giant ages, but they have a swamp giant NPC (called Sully Gatherer-Clan) who is 90 years old (he...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    He's right. It should say something like this: Base Attack/Grapple: +2/+8 Attack: 3 tendrils +8 melee (1d6+3) Full Attack: 3 tendrils +8 melee (1d6+3) I also think the combat section needs to copy some, but not all, of the things from the hydra: The first sentence/paragraph seems to work OK...

    Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

    I like it, but why is it less dangerous cooked? You have this for the cooked bird: "Utoyasukata Flesh: Ingested, Fort Save DC 14, primary damage 1d4 Con, secondary damage nauseated for 1d8 hours. A creature that succeeds on the save against the secondary damage is still sickened for 1d8 hours."...

    Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

    Yep. They look great. My only question is do they stack? i.e can the Fiery Face use its Masquerade as Fire ability to improve its Hide in Flames check? Or how about something that is both a blessing and a curse at the same time! The Fiery Face could grant a blessing that contains a hidden...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    I've noticed some monsters that break the rules. I can't recall any of them now, but have seen discussions about them over at the forums attached to the Hypertext d20 SRD. Personally, I'd be happy to use those stats (along with the standard stat bumps for increased levels) for all of the...
