    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    What range do you fancy for Hurl Flames? I was thinking either 120 feet of a standard Eftreet or improving it to 150 feet.

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    Suits me. We can give the Savage Coast version a subentry I guess. Will start a blank Working Draft and post the original stats.

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Y'okay. I'll add the WIS save to the Scarlet Mist Working Draft so they'll match and we can declare this one done… …and it's added.

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Never underestimate the amount of barminess in the multiverse. Yeah, it's pretty straightforward as most of the entries will be "same as the modron" apart from its class-equivalent spellcasting. So, first question is what are we calling the template! Modronoid Transplant? Brainswapped...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    Yeesh. I don't have the energy to compare six sets of stats right now, so checking these will have to wait for later. What about the Mystaran Dragonfly Nymph? Basic questions are: Will we give it the same DEX and CON saves as the adults or cut it down to CON save only or no save proficiency...

    5E: Converting AD&D Monsters to Fifth Edition

    Well it looks like we've got the Special Traits all nailed down so it's time for the Actions. How about starting with Multiattack and its components. Say: Multiattack. The efreeti firelord makes three attacks using any combination of fiery falchion, flaming punch, or hurl flame. Fiery...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    That's odd, I just noticed that the Goatfolk is missing from my home version of the Creature Catalog. The goatfolk.htm and its amendment are in my "Work Processing" folders and the Zip I downloaded to Enworld but they're AWOL from my CC Conversions folder. Wonder what happened there? Did I...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Updating Bielgorad Working Draft. We'll need to give them something to cover the "will die rather than being mind controlled" quality, but I was leaving that for later.

    Kraken Variants

    Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft. So you're suggesting what, something along the lines of four Medium katanas (1d10+6) plus two Large longswords (2d6+6) and a Huge shortsword (2d6+6) in the main statblock's Full Attack line? That seems unnecessarily...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    Unless you can see anything wrong with it! Updating The Keeper of the Key Working Draft. Well "buggy" about says it since there are three encounters with swarming beetles in OA2 and they all had different stats! I don't recall posting them and it'd be handy having the text near the...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Updated the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. Okay, I'll run a quick compare-and-contrast… Okay, there are three points of divergence. First the D&D Beyond version has proficiency in WIS saves while the Enworld one has no Saving Throws listed. We need to change one to match the other. Would you...

    Converting True Dragons

    Likewise. Sure. I think with Pearl we combined the speeds of a great wyrm of every Chaotic dragon we were using as reference, but doing the same for Neutral dragons would likely give Opal different speeds and it's more consistent to the original Dragon Rulers to just copy-and-paste the speed...

    Converting monsters from Tales From The Infinite Staircase

    So change the SA from: Blood Drain (Ex): A Gargantuan slaiyith can drain blood from a grabbed opponent, dealing 1d8 point of Constitution damage each round it maintains the hold. To: Blood Drain (Ex): A master slaiyith's blood drain deals 1d8 Constitution damage each round it maintains its...

    Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

    We should discuss the accreditation for the Bleak One. It doesn't have monster stats in any D&D product. The only TSR published text I can find about it is a brief mention in the story outline for the Fritz Leiber tale it appears in. So should we I add: Note: This creature appears in the...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Let's make it "insatiable thirst for blood" then. Well it doesn't bother me. Doesn't every living dead monster use it as a noun in its type line, including the Scarlet Mist's "Medium undead, neutral evil"? That said, I have no objection to tweaking the first paragraph if it'll make you...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    How's this… A scarlet mist is a vaporous undead whose body is a clump of fog that stinks of blood. It turns into streamers of mist when moving rapidly but must coalesce into a ghostly humanoid shape to attack. Despite the name a scarlet mist is normally as white as a cloud, but it flushes...

    5E: Fifth Edition Monster Variants Inspired by Fourth Edition Sources

    Updating the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. So are we done apart from the Description?
