    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I know that there are variant imps but forgot which book. Realms? Eberron? (It has variant homunculi already.) Oh, and little sidebar, thanks for briging up Fool's Gold. I wanted that as a SLA for a homebrew pyrite dragon, pyrite being the real fool's gold.

    Converting True Dragons

    So let's give it a name, say Eldritch Breath (Su), that lists the possible effects as the dragon ages. I think. Then the n/day factor, and maybe the dragon has to wait longer than 1d4 rounds to use its breath weapon (in any form) should it apply an eldtritch effect to its breath.

    Converting True Dragons

    Actually, that sounds perfect! The demon drake should be able to enlarge its fire breath weapon 3/day via the equivalent of a metabreath feat, so we can add other enhancements.

    Okey-dokey, got a list of warlock invocations, looking for some annoying candidates and their spell equivalents if any. charm (4th) aka charm monster darkness (2nd) aka darkness hungry darkness (3rd) aka darkness filled with a bat swarm curse of despair (4th) aka bestow curse And then there...

    Psionics in this case most likely refers to mind-affecting charm spells. We can label it as psionics (sp) like the couatl for instance.

    Converting Psionic Creatures

    Sorry for being late on this, but we've been entertaining my sister and her family for the past few days while they're here on vacation from Down Under (via Japan and Europe, but that's another story). I used the text of wind wall in part to draft this. Wind Blast (Su): As a standard action a...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Yup; as a general rule long, eel-like aquatic predators are more of wait-and-ambush because their bodies permit quick bursts of energy rather than tuna and similarly-shaped animals that cruise for prey in open waters.

    Or maybe even with wind wall; I'll work on this over the weekend.

    Converting Psionic Creatures

    I agree with the bonus against orcs and goblinoids as well. Weapons aren't my strong stuff, but the two hammers aren't the ones for me.

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    A Medium animal (aquatic) with the Blood drain (Ex) ability that results in Con damage, as a baseline. What's the closest bloodsucker, and closest fish to compare it with?

    Converting Psionic Creatures

    Agreed on increasing wind throwing (as if augmented), psychic warrior favored class, and a 5HD monstrous humanoid.

    Converting Psionic Creatures

    So, we first got the duergar, then the Aleithian dwarves from the Legend of Sardior, now this. Moradin's not happy with this, I bet. That wind effect seems to be the only unique psionic ability it has (I can use a stripped down control air or tornado blast for that), though, and we could carry...

    That's actually good. 5th level sorcerer = 3rd level spells which are not powerful.

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I was about to wonder about their relationship to the githyanki before I came to the very bottom of the article. Outsider for me as well. I'm surprised they don't view the 'yanki as pesky interlopers. I was wondering about the Con 20 too.

    Converting True Dragons

    A warlocky demon drake and a psionic crystal drake! Woot!:D That makes my day! Limited sorcerer progress, and a couple of really nice SLAs thrown in based on spells that are overlooked or neglected, and we can give each drake a distinctive set of powers.

    Converting True Dragons

    This is a toughie. I'm getting close to bedtime so if random things just pop into my head then bear with me awhile. Since it is a demon drake I wildly think of giving it nasty warlock invocations but then that's not core. At what age should we start them off as 1st-level sorcerers? White dragons...

    Converting prehistoric creatures

    Ooh, electric fish, how juicy. As it so happens, I have an old Scientific American article in the office about the fish Gymnarchus, and it shows that electric abilties evolved independently in several different lineages of fish. And it does have that low-level electrical field that as rappy said...
