    Planescape Converting Planescape monsters

    Breath Weapon: I'd say burned skin and seared eyes unless they have Acid Resist 5 or higher. These targets would not be taking any damage from the breath weapon, and therefore wouldn't suffer the burns. Spell-like Abilities and Fast Healing look good, in line with the other Mephits.

    Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

    Looks good to me. Stronger than most Orcs, and wiser ;)

    Better make that a 3-way... Go me! :-/

    Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

    Suggested Ability Scores: Str 19, Dex 9, Con 16, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 11 Strong and hearty, wise (mystical), personable and kind (but not a forceful presence). I can't see anything wrong with Shade's Skills and Feats suggestion.

    Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

    That IS ridiculous. Whack, crit, 8!, dead. Anyhow, I agree with giving these orcs scythes, for all the reasons listed above (minus maiming, of course ;) ). Maybe we could add pitchforks as a secondary weapon (add an "or" line to the attack line); seems odd that *all* of them would have...

    Misc. Monsters

    Awesome ideas. I like all of them; I think Murderdust is the best of the bunch, though the reanimating template is pretty sweet idea as well. As for the Nameless One, there may be some outer planar travel in my campaign in the near future, so I could get some use out of him. For a name, if...

    That's a pretty sweet ability. And creepy!

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey

    Yeah...was getting "page cannot be displayed" there for a little while. Then I was getting "the administrator has said that only 1 message may be posted every 30 seconds" for awhile, when I had just logged in, and this was my 1st post since logging in. Wacky.

    Giant by Poll - The Creature Thus Far (recovery effort)

    I do like “Living Hill” for the name. Taking some of Knight Otu’s Swedish words: Living + Hill: Levandekulle Shortened: Levankul Backwards and shortened: Kullev Kullevan I think of those, I like Levankul and Kullevan the best…though I’ll admit Kullevan sounds more like the name of an...

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey

    Thanks for the clarification, BOZ. Well, I do hope that other article does get printed soon, though for as which one it is, I really have no idea!

    Definition of "same source"

    RoE is more of an "effect" than a drain, though, IIRC. When the spell duration ends, the target would get its strength back. Not the case with things like a shadow's touch, which actually is a drain (temp Str damage), and poisons; additional hits mean additional loss from the target ability...

    Disco Dwarves

    And a glittery outfit, adorned with light-reflecting (though not necessarily expensive) gems and bits of metal, which clink and chime as the dwarf moves about.

    DM Seeks Monster - Help from the Group, Please

    Are you looking for something that is actually very dangerous (magical beast or abberation, perhaps), or something just plain elusive, that if/when it is finally cornered, it will turn out to not be so dangerous at all (trickster or just curious fey, or a smaller magical beast, perhaps)?

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey

    In re-reading BOZ's post, I think I understand better, now. Once the big query is submitted, are we then waiting on a reply of sorts before we do any further work?

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey

    Will all of these be in the query, or are we looking to select a few and go from there? Will there be a poll on this? I've been away a week and a half, and I feel lost! At least it was a nice vacation from everything...

    Which fey should be in an article for Dragon magazine?

    Glad to see others would like to see the Quickling as much as I ;) What are we taking from this? Top 5, then a poll to single 1 out?

    Giant by Poll - The Creature Thus Far (recovery effort)

    Suggestions for giant's bag text: Text looks decent, but may I suggest a slight rewording: A GIANT's bag usually contains 1d4 throwing rocks, 3d4 mundane items, and the giant's personal wealth. These possessions tend to be muddy or algae-covered, and usually consist of a mixture of fishing...

    Converting "generic setting" second edition monsters

    40 lb. chunk of stone, 400 gp to purchase, DC 17?

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #7: Hide bonus

    I'd vote for Spot DC 20 when immobile, under any condition.
