    Creature Catalog VI in Dragon #355

    Cannon Golem ? To those who wrote this article: where does this golem come from ? Is it a conversion or a new monster ? (Sorry for my ignorance, I actually started playing D&D for real when the 3rd edition, so I don't know much about the 2nd or even the 1st edition... shame on me.)

    Creating new dragons!

    Thanks for the files RavinRay, these look awesome ! I honestly don't have notice any mistakes or miscalculations, so they look good. For the half-dragon, how about adding Hold Breath for the special qualities ? It just seems weird that an aquatic half-breed does not have stronger lungs. One...

    Complete list of flaws, please ?

    Where can I get a complete list of flaws (PDF, Web site, etc...), as in "not just those in Unearthed Arcana" ? because I've seen some in Dragon magazine issues, and I like these new rules. Thanks in advance, JiCi

    9th level maneuvers

    Feral Death Blow: when you combine it with Spot the Weak Point (skill trick from Complete Scoundrel), you only get a Jump DC equal to the creature's touch AC, not normal one.

    Dog vs. Riding Dog (which one goes where ?)

    If you ask me, we need WAY more examples, so DMs can diverfy their encounters. For example: Dog: Poodle, Weiner Dog, Yokeshire, Chihuahua Riding Dog: German Shepherd, Doberman, Bloodhound anything else you guys can come up with ?

    DRAGON Magazine monster index!

    I don't know much about #354; the only monsters I remember are these: 354 - monodrone, duodrone, tetradrone, quadradrone, pentadrone (modrons)

    Converting True Dragons

    Oh, that works too... how about adding a secondary effect, like the emerald and sapphire gem dragons (I think) ? I believe one of them deafens its targets, while the other shakens and/or panics its targets. How about making the sound disruptive for the targets' lungs, which could force them to...

    Creating new dragons!

    Psion is a good choice, perhaps with no discipline but with mantles instead, such as for getting exclusive powers. Since the 6 other gem dragons have a speciality in terms of powers, maybe mine could go with mantles. One more thing, if we go with Psion, which progression should I use ? the...

    Converting True Dragons

    If a icthyodrake looks like a fish and hunts like a fish, why does it have a fly speed ? About a fixed land speed of 20 feet and progressive swim speed instead ? For a breath weapon, how about a cone of acidic vapor that deals acid damage (duh) and blinds creatures stuck within the cloud ?

    Send In The Clowns… (or, Converting the Oddballs)

    Send in the Clowns ? Wasn't there a clown demon in a "slightly updated" epic level handbook from D20 ? A guy who could choke you with a cream pie, shock you with his hands, burn you with acid and a flower, in addition of being unkillable ?

    Creating new dragons!

    According to The Slayer's Guide to Dragons, there are still a few color left for new chromatic dragons until we run dry of ideas. It's all based on possible crossbreeds: Maroon: black/red Indigo: Black/blue Verdigris: black/green Grey: black/white (homebrewed by me) Purple: red/blue (already...

    Creating new dragons!

    I actually got the idea from Dragon Booster, and as for the Diamond Dragon, I was doing a dragon without any magic or psionic, perhaps I'll add psionics later when I'll have more time.

    Do you mix templates from different settings ?

    here's another one: 14 HD creature/NPC + spellpowered (true strike, wraithstrike, golem strike, critical strike, grave strike, vine strike; all constant effects) + chirurgic horror (slashing weapons) Sneak attack every monster except elementals and oozes, as touch attacks, with a +20 bonus, a...

    Creating new dragons!

    Next, a (non-psionic) (gem-classed) dragon: Diamond Dragon Dragon (Earth, Light) Climate/Terrain: any mountains and underground Organization: Wyrmling, very young, young, juvenile, and young adult: solitary or clutch (2-5); adult, mature adult, old, or very old: solitary, pair, or family (1-2...

    Creating new dragons!

    next, 4 speed demons: A dark-scaled lizard braces itself against the ground, just like in order to start running. Its head sports draconic features, such as reptilian eyes, a long snout and sharp fangs. Its four legs are clawed, sturdy and muscular and a tail twitches at the end of its spine...

    Creating new dragons!

    You said that miscellaneous dragons are welcomed, right ? if so, I got some for you: First, a horned dragon: A large reptilian beast fixes you with sharp draconic eyes. Atop its head protrudes a 4-foot long white-colored horn, growing horizontally above its brow. This quadruped dragon has...

    Do you mix templates from different settings ?

    goblin + gigantic + spell-powered (fear) yep... that counts as a good combo

    Do you mix templates from different settings ?

    I've been thinking about it for a while, and I would like to know what you guys do with this. When creating new monsters and/or NPCs, do you mix and match templates from different settings ? For example, do you mix a horrid animal from Eberron with a Beast of Xvim from Faerun and the Elite...
