Works for me. Updating the Ihagnim. I've removed the "Hide –6* [+10 on Astral Plane]" and "Skills: An ihagnim's translucent body grants it a +16 racial bonus on Hide checks against the background of the Astral Plane." If we've using take 10 for the previous Hide +10 then should we bump the...

Posted a placeholder Bielgorad Working Draft.

Bielgorad Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil, Goatkin?) Hit Dice: 6d8+24 (39 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 30 ft. in banded armor (6 squares); base speed 40 ft. Armor Class: 22 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural, +2 banded armor), touch 10, flat-footed 21 Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+14 [+18 with...

Well compared to the Goatkin they ain't complicated but that isn't saying much. Yup. What subtypes if any do they have? I can see (Goatkin) or possibly even (Goatkin, Tanar'ri) for them. Also, are there any existing monsters we can use as models or inspiration. Maybe Minotaurs or one of...

Hmm, so long as it does a bit less with its punching than if it picks up a decent weapon I'm OK with its. Let's see, a Colossal katana does 6d8 damage which averages to 27. That's more than the 22 average of 4d10. Although that begs the question of what its damage becomes should it gain the...

Agreed. Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. So we're all done apart from the background?

Yeah, let's just go for the average for male humans as we don't have anything else to go on. How about: The Keeper of the Keys and uses ghost step to maneuver around the battlefield with little risk of being struck by enemies. It favors melee combat but will use missiles and spells to soften...

I'd assume it's possible but it's not something either Freyar nor I could do. We don't have any admin rights over Enworld. We used to be able to edit and update monster entries to the old Creature Catalog website, but that was the limit of our powers. The original arrangement Scott Greene...

I prefer Pearl's spell selection to swapping out veil.

Come to think of it, how about limited wish instead of vision for the 7th-level spells known? Being a monster there's not much need to worry about the XP cost.

Reupdated the Index and just noticed I'd accidentally overwritten Post #2 with Post #1 the last time I did the update. No irreparable harm done. I have an archive of this thread to I just reoverwrote Post #2 with the original text.

The old Creature Catalog had really kludged together coding that required a server running obsolete PHP and going by the backup Darjr sent me all those years ago it lost some of its data during one of those crashes, which is why a few of the older monster entries went AWOL. After looking into...

Works for me. If I recall the original story accurately the Grey Mouser cracked open the egg with one blow, suggesting it wasn't that tough since he is more a finesse fighter than a muscular powerhouse like Fafhrd. So how about we go for hardness 5 and split the difference on the health to...

Why would we need to shift the spell selection for Metamagic feats? Sorcerers cast them spontaneously. Of the standard Metamagic, I don't find them very tempting but I'll listen to counterarguments. I was thinking more of giving it Spell Focus (illusion) since most of the non-enchantment spells...

It's the principle of the thing! Also, you're forgetting that the template includes Giants, so a Huge giant can turn into a Huge dragon even if the base dragon is a Tiny wyrmling: Updating the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft.

Also realized another issue. Giving it +16 to Hide on the Astral Plane isn't much help since there's little to no Concealment on the astral so how would it make a Hide check? Should we give it a Special Quality to either (a) make Hide checks without anything to hide behind, like the ranger's...

I'll change the first paragraph from: Devour (Su): An ihagnim can try to devour a grabbed opponent its own size or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once devoured, the opponent is consumed in 1 round. The ihagnim destroys the victim's body and prevents any form of raising or...

We've still got the Bielgorad and their demon lord Bielgorna to stat up, but at least those don't have Goat Magic and Resonance like the caprine. So would you like to start on the Bielgorad? I'll post the original Goatmen of Kavaja text here for reference: Bielgorad Armour Class: 0 Hit Dice...

The AD&D stat blocks listed 7 tentacle attacks plus 2 fist attacks in NO. OF ATTACKS, its just the Combat text omitted to say how much the female's fists did. Anyhows, I'm fine giving both sexes the same base fist damage. We gave the 3.0 conversion 2d6 damage for the slams, which is the same as...

Yeah, I wondered about that too but opted to keep the first draft simple. The original text didn't say anything about limits of distance or plane regarding the link, nor whether it was possible to sever the link or restore either or both of the creatures to their previous state. Presumably...
