Cleon updated Creature Catalog with a new update entry: Creature Catalog (Download Version) Update 2025-07-03 Read the rest of this update entry...

Added Bleak One (Hazard), Caprine, Gladiator Lizard, Ihagnim, Modronoid, Seven Swords' Keeper of the Key, Skeleton Archer and Slaiyith (including Master Slaiyith & Psionic Slaiyith). Amended the Nasnas and Valgoss Host (Template).

Just realized an inconsistency with The Keeper of the Key Working Draft. In the body text I mostly called it The Keeper of the Keys plural rather than the singular Key as the undead's named in OA2. Just edited it so all the Keys are Key.

By that argument wouldn't every conversion of a Maelost creature we do have the Extraplanar subtype? Most of them never leave their home plane anyway, Also, although the demiplane of Maelost is floating around the Ethereal Plane in its own spatial bubble, Tales from The Infinite Staircase says...

Remembered there was something I wanted to add to the Damage section. I think the hybrid form's tail slap should not use 1½ Strength bonus like a true dragon's tail slap but just ½ Strength bonus like a regular secondary attack. It's a simple matter of adding "The hybrid form's tail slap deals...

Updating the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft. How's this: Crush (Ex): If a weredragon's dragon type possesses the crush attack, the weredragon can make crush attacks when in a dragon form or hybrid form that meets the special attack's size restrictions. This special attack...

Just remembered there were some issues with the Nasnas conversion: Can you spot any problems? :confused:

Updated the Greater Fachan Working Draft with all of the above, including lowering Strength to 19.

After further thought, let's keep the Morningstar as that matches the Fachan's 2d6 weapon damage. A Greatclub is 2d8 damage at Large size, which is the weapon damage of an AD&D Hill Giant not the Fachan.

Upon reflection, maybe we should lower the Strength a tad? The original had a +4 damage bonus, which suggests Strength on of 18/76 to /95 so in AD&D terms and 18 or 19 in 3E terms. We gave it Strength 25 to match the gauntlet of fachan power's +6 damage bonus rather than the +4 damage bonus of...

Will include that in the next update. I'm assuming you prefer the simpler approach of cutting the standard +1 attack for Rock Throwing than keeping it and lowering the Monocular Vision ranged attack penalty –3 to give its thrown rocks an overall –2 to hit penalty. I've got Morningstar in the...

Okay, I've just realized there's a few wee issues with the template. Firstly, the only official D&D stats for a Decaton are from the old Wizards of the Coast website and those are only 3.0. There are D&D 3.5 from Planewalker.com, but those aren't official. Secondly, there was a major switch...

Finished a first draft and updated the above.

Will start work on the Brainswapped Modronoid (Template) Working Draft.

Agreed. Modifying the Derro's Madness works for me, and that would be ok for regular modronoids, too. Do you want to go all the way to Cha +6 and Wis -6 or stick to smaller modifiers? So are we leaving the Derro Madness's immunity to confusion and insanity effects? I'd make it a +/–2 modifier...

Hmm… If the bielgorad snags an opponent's leg with the hook instead of their neck wouldn't that trip them up? How's this for a writeup: Crook (Ex): A bielgorad's shepherd's crook is a melee weapon that is a Large +2 one-handed magical weapon when wielded by a bielgorad. In the hands of any...

Updated the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft.

I initially used "humanoid" but that has a specific game-mechanic meaning in D&D so decided against it. Though come to think of it, that applies to "giant" as well. How about "A huge being resembling a humanoid but roughly three times taller than a human and far wider?" Also noticed a typo -...

Okay, from re-reading the MC and I4 entries and my memories of the Al-Qadim City of Brass box set that I can't be bothered to pull out of my collection, the customs and behaviour of a Noble Efreeti is pretty well covered by the Description of standard Efreet in the 5E Monstrous Manual. Anyhow...

My idea/plan was to reread the 2E Monstrous Compendium Efreeti Noblie and Oasis and boil down the fluff text into a description.
