Okay, for the Legendaries we can start by picking out what Standard/Bonus/Reaction Actions to include and then think about whether to add any more. So I was thinking Purifying Pyre from Actions plus both Fiery Eyes and Flash Step from Bonus Actions. As for Reactions, we could give it a...

The statblock has "2 fists or 1 weapon" as its Attacks, and the weapon does 1d10+5 (+3 from its Strength, +2 from magic). Bielgorad "wield +2 magical weapons" and "these oversized weapons include a crook" so I'm presuming that it's a polearm with some kind of hooked mancatcher attached to it...

Well the text doesn't say how big these beetles are, but if we want to keep the original's vulnerability to regular weapon damage and poor Armor Class we can't make them smaller than Tiny since Fine and Diminutive swarms are immune to weapon damage and would have a +4 or +8 size adjustment to...

By the way, are you OK with the Fiery Eyes saving throw being Constitution? Assuming so, unless you have some other abilities to propose we can move on to Legendary Actions.

Works for me. Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft.

The versions we've already got in the CC have 8d12 trample damage, which is just a tad higher than the slam damage. For reference, the original monster trampled for 1d100 damage.

The 2024 Giant Spider doesn't have a save for its poison, but just does damage. I like the 2014 version's paralyzing poison better. So how will we be Indexing these? I'd rather not delete the links to the old versions from the Index considering the effort we spent on them, so shall I add...

Making it 3b is fine by me. We'll need a duration for the period of blindness. Maybe 5 (1d10) or 6 (1d12) rounds?

Better get cracking then, Will update the Indexes as you post the 2024 formatted versions. I plan to give them a quick eyeball to check for errors, just in case.

'Ere we go… Incandescent Rebuke (Recharge 5–6)[#1 Incendiary]. When a creature within 50 feet damages the efreeti firelord with an attack, the firelord can use its reaction to engulf the attacker with a surge of incandescent sparks from its Body of Smokeless Flame. The attacker takes 9 (2d8)...

If you like. I'd have to update the links in the Indexes, which'd be a bit of a pain but (hopefully) won't take too long.

Giving it Parry is OK by me. Shouldn't a Reaction express its triggering condition more clearly? Something like so: Incendiary Rebuke (Recharge 5-6). The efreeti firelord points its finger at a creature that damages it. The creature is momentarily surrounded by flames and must make a DC...

That's all fine. Updated the Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. So are we done with the abilities? If so, I can remove the [plus others TBD?] note.

Dark Dweller Huge Outsider (Native) Hit Dice: d8+ ( hp) Initiative: +– Speed: ## ft. ( squares), burrow ## ft. Armor Class: 1 (–2 size, Dex, + natural), touch 1, flat-footed 1 Base Attack/Grapple: +/+ Attack: Tendril + melee (d+) Full Attack: 6 tendrils + melee (d+) Space/Reach: 15 ft./ 15 ft...

Sure. The original stats are in the linked post above, and the Cleon Homebrew hopefully provides enough information about the nature of that entity that I don't have to transcribe chunks of text from the adventure. EDIT: Adding a link to the Cleon Special Dark Dweller so it's on the same page...

Yes, this is going to need some serious thought. I'm thinking some of the Special Abilities will need tweaking, particularly the Breath Weapon. The original stats has "They can also use the dragon’s breath weapon once each day." Which is a bit problematic since it doesn't give a size or...

In AD&D a standard Ogre is AC 5, one point worse than the Fachan's AC 4. The 1E illustration shows two fachan that are bare-arse naked, while the 2E illustration's Fachan is dressed in normal clothes that have been ripped up to fit its inhuman anatomy. It has a jacket with the front open so its...

Agreed. It's pretty much as you predicted. Valran has all the decaton's abilities apart from its spellcasting. It can even use a decaton's SLAs and telepathy. Here's the "modronoid version" statblock: VALRAN STONEFIST (Pl/Ø modronoid/M13/N): AC 2; MV 15, Fl 3(E); HD 10+10;hp 90; THAC0 11...

So we're adding Crook (Ex) and Immobilizing Net (Ex and Su) special attacks?

Let's stick to the current Beetle and Carnivorous Beetle then, since that's the names used in the original text. Hmm… isn't the first question what Size to make them? The Swarms are vulnerable to normal weapons in the original, which means they'd have to be Tiny by the 3E rules. Happily, a...
