    Monster Indices

    This is out of date. Here is the latest thread: Complete D&D Monster Index (June 2008) Actually, I wonder if it would be helpful if Echohawk could be given some sort of fixed location for his latest index to go. That way links like this wouldn't go out of date. If that isn't possible, then I...

    DUNGEON Magazine Monster Index!

    Please unsticky this thread This is a great thread, but why does it need to be a sticky? There is, I believe, a link from the Monster Indices thread. If this thread is unstickied, it will help conversion threads to stay on the front page.

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Thanks. I need to learn these things, so I can become an uber-geek and do them myself. B-) I'm not after extra damage, but I figured that if a monster falls into a pit or starts to sink in molten liquid, they have to climb out to avoid taking fire damage every round.:devil:

    If it would help avoid bumping the conversion threads off of the front page, I'm game. Have they put up a list of these and some sort of FAQ? Enjoy your workshop. See you in a week.

    Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

    I was wondering about naive too, but the creature is definatly an elemental. I checked the SRD and it says you can only have native outsiders. Elemental sounds spot on to me. It sounds like they have a burrow speed and some sort of "rockvision" that allows them to see through solid ground. I...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Is this something that is replacing the Affect Normal Fires spell like ability? I'm a little lost. Isn't elemental fire treated as a heavy gas or a liquid? Wouldn't a character who fails to move, find that the ground gives way below him and he drops into a pit (of fire)?

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the oozes

    This is partially wrong. The corpse does not need to be transported to Limbo, because it isn't possible to encounter the arucha outside of Limbo - they are trapped there until they kill someone and steal their form. This is different from the original 2e arucha. The 2e arucha used to steal...

    Wow. I blinked and I missed it. Nice job anyway.

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    I've been busy for a bit, but everything everyone has done seems good. That is good. Should we cut it down, so they only see aura's of spellcasters? Then we could instinctively make them go for anyone who "glows" and they wouldn't run after magic swords.

    Unconverted D&D creatures

    I'm not brilliant at monster design either as some of the things (like picking a CR) are more art than science. Once monsters have been created, I think that I'm fairly good at working out the "...As Characters" bits or extrapolating a new subrace, but it all takes extra time. But I would...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    "etc" = ? :confused: :heh: Do you think it is worth going through all the Jakandor monsters before doing another campaign setting? Or should we mix and match? I'll read the actual monster after this post and come back and make some comments. This sounds like it is mostly flavor, but does...

    Unconverted D&D creatures

    Is there any chance we can get a breakdown on the number of Jakandor creatures at some point soon? Now there is a Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings that is converting them, I'd love to see how things are progressing. (Are they currently folded into "Generic 2nd edition"?)

    Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off giants and their kin

    Instant poison is a change, but it is a change for the better. Monster abilities should mostly happen during the combat (or in front of the players). I must have missed that limit. If this creature lives underground vertical flight won't come into play too much. And cutting out the height...

    Converting True Dragons

    I'd say the stuff you have added to this all looks good. They sound like pretty logical skills to me. EDIT: Sorry for the "I agree"-style post, but it is your own fault for not making any mistakes for me to point out.:p

    Unofficial Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Info Page not working

    I can't get the Unofficial Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Info Page link to work since the forum upgrade. Can anyone tell me where the page has moved to? (I'm trying to track down some information that I think is up there.) If an appropriate moderator surfs past can they ask whoever runs the...

    Converting Al-Qadim and Oriental Adventures creatures

    Sounds logical. The first sentence would go. The "slam attack" would switch to "breath weapon". I'd guess that the DC would not vary, so that sentence could switch to a fixed one. The rest would seem to be fine. Would you want to rename this to "Ignite (Ex)"?

    Complete D&D Monster Index (June 2008)

    I would say "I feel like Tony Robinson", but with this being an international forum, nobody would know what I meant. Good job I didn't say it, isn't it! :p ;) Actually, the big thrill is knowing that the 3rd edition version will be a full treatment and not just a "we can't be bothered to...
