yeah, i think we can stick with CR +18 - 1E AC. :) that should, if i'm looking at it right, put almost all of them in the AC 40-45 range. take that number, subtract Dex mod, insight bonus, and any armor etc that they are using, and that gives us our Natural AC. sounds good? :)

Well, that does jump around a bit… but that’s OK. How about this for the simplest solution I could come up with. :) we go AC = CR +20, minus the fiend’s 1E AC. ;) for example, if Amon turns out to be CR 24, his AC will be 46 (24 +20 +2). if that’s just a bit much, we could bring it down to...

OK, don't know if i accomplished a whole ton doing that, but... ;) let's see, they all had negative ACs, of at least -1; Asmo had -7, Meph has -6, and Baalzebul has -5, and everyone else has -4 or worse, so there's really not a ton of variance there. we might be best off to simply compare...

OK, let's get some work in on total AC per CR. without looking, i'm sure most of the 1E ACs fell somewhere in the -4 to 2 range; i'll have a look and compare what they really were. like with the HD, we can set approximate numbers now (maybe fudging them later) and determine natural armor based...

light undergrowth is probably sufficient, though we should add that it does not grant concealment against the bloodsipper - in fact, it can see victims even better. ;) so, how about this modification: Sensory Vines (Ex): A bloodsipper's vines fill its space. A creature can move through a...

the refresh button is your friend. ;) anyway, yeah, that might be a good way to keep it simple. with as many as Baalzebul, Mammon, Dispater, and Bel having a score under 20, i'm almost tempted to say go with something more like 35, 30, 29, 26, 24, 16 and then let the chips fall where they may...

OK, going straight through factoring in the 1/4 HD thing on each of the BoVD lords: Bel 161 Dispater 170 Mammon 168 Belial/Fierna 168 Levistus 165 Hag 160 Baalzebul 169 Mephistopheles 167 Asmodeus 179 so, you see that (with the exception of Big A, who we might as well throw out as a "special...

here's what i mean. that adds up to 167. he has 26-HD, which means he would get 6 points from HD, so minus that and you have 161. if we do the math and come up with numbers that are reasonably close, we can establish an array. if they're all over the place, we'll have to do something else. ;)

yes, i recall that thread, but i haven't had a look at it in awhile. :)

that sounds like a good point to start from; might as well standardize all of that. anything you'd care to add from the BoVD stats? as i was looking through the Dragon 75 & 76 dukes, i noted that all, or nearly all of them had a fear ability - by touch, gaze, or aura (and i think one even had...

i'm not thinking of messing with Martinet at the moment, although i do want to get to Amon; note that with my above chart, Amon will definitely be higher than his BoVD WE stats. :) also, Bel and Bael are two separate individuals (believe it or not; a few of these names are awfully close). i...

without looking, and just going off the top of my memory, yes it is. i think that was Erica's, and she was probably basing it off the Monstrous Manual version of the ravenloft zombie lord (it was in the MM wasn't it?)

yeah, i saw that! thanks! :)

As you may or may not know, I've added or added to a number of D&D monster articles on Wikipedia. If you'd like, please weigh in here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Satyr_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29 If they win with the Satyr that will encourage them to go for...

actually, about 1/2 - 2/3 of those deities were made up for the book. :)

don't tell me, tell them. ;) i already came up with a bunch of ideas just from writing that blurb! read Ramenos' entry from Monster Mythology and you'll see what i mean. :)

LOL! i actually did, right before i sent the query out. :)

good call! i could swear there are other similar creatures out there as well. will probably want to mention the oreads, for one. very much intentional. ;) yeah... probably not a good idea. :) i live to serve! there are probably other walking, talking trees out there as well. i think...

OK, here's what I've come up with. Let me know if there's something I should add to it, or if it's ready to go as-is. :) Bullywug The ecology of the bullywug would detail their role in disrupting a swamp environment, maintaining loose territorial boundaries and eating interlopers. The...

i sure do! :D what's a tiraphlumph?
