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

    Okay, so I'm eyeballing the above damage amounts as giving an Offensive CR of 5, so we need a Defensive CR about the same to make the whole creature Challenge 5 (1,800) like we intend. It's got Resistances to a LOT of things but I don't think it qualifies for the "Flies and can deal damage at...

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

    The rule of thumb is to double the AoE damage, so if we want the DPR to be roughly equivalent the Wave should do about half the damage of the Drain. So, if we make the Wave 2d6+2d6 then the Life Drain should be about 28 DPR, which'd require the dice portion to be about 25 if it's still a single...

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

    Somehow the above lost a "plus", it should be: Wave of Lethargy. Every creature within 10 feet of the scarlet mist must succeed at a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take # (#d#) psychic damage plus # (#d#) necrotic damage (increased to ## (#d#) necrotic damage if target affected by the...

    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    Eh? The size of the dragon form is determined by the Size and Type section. As per the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft. I'm getting a bit confused as to what's the issue here. Could you propose an alternative wording that'd work for you? My plan was to include sample...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    If you don't have any preferences for the next Dragon Mag monster, maybe we could continue converting the monsters from the original Creature Catalog that the Ihagnim debuted in? There's eight remaining: Corkie, Fachan, Flailtail, Millikan, Seastar, Scallion, Giant Shrike and Sind. The Fachan...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I believe so. Updating the Ihagnim. Do you have any preferences for the next conversion on this thread? It's been a while since I checked my Want List.

    Assuming you're OK with the rest of the text, I'll update the Scarlet Mist Working Draft. The previous version had:

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

    Well the easy way to achieve that is just not have it require recharge. The original was an at-will power, so we could do the same for this version.

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Here's the relevant section from The Great Modron March (1997). From Page 107 & 109: (Page 108 was a map)   Valran Stonefist’s changed considerably since the PCs saw him last. They won’t recognize him until he speaks to them. He’s placed himself in the body of a decaton, and he’s learning how...

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Updated the Modronoid Working Draft. So we're done with another one! Looks like we'll update the CC Download soon since we've finally finished a few critters. That's what you thought. I thought "see if we can come up with a better handle on the Brain-Transplant Modronoid later" and it's now...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Hmm… I'd be fine giving it a slightly better AC than 20 since translating older edition monsters to 3E often gives them higher numbers than the original. So I could see us going +2 banded mail, +4 natural and Dex +1 for AC 22. As for the ability scores, I'm wondering about making Wisdom hgiher...

    Kraken Variants

    Come to think of it, a Colossal wakizasha does 4d6 base damage but the current draft has its slams do 4d8 damage. Isn't having it do more damage with its bare hands than a weapon a bit skewed? Although I guess it'd help explain why they don't favour Colossal weapons, although the iterative...

    Kraken Variants

    So are we still giving the tentacles 10 feet more reach like the current Enworld version? e.g.: Male—Space/Reach: 30 ft/30 ft (40 ft with tentacles) Female—Space/Reach: 40 ft/40 ft (50 ft with tentacles) None of the officially published krakentua had weapons for their enormous hands, either...

    Creature Catalogue website won't load

    Yeah, I think it's going the CC is going to stay here for now. Even if it does get reborn as a Wiki the Download version would presumably keep going here.

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    How about this: In life, the Keeper was a religious fanatic whose devotion to nihilistic mysticism was instrumental in the Seven Swords' descent into undeath. His title, the Keeper of the Keys, referred to his authority over the clan castle's gates, treasury strongboxes, and the horrendous...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    I'm fine with the current possessions of chimes, mithral shirt and spell pouch. So for the "In life" bit we, as usual, have little to go on. Presumably he was keen on religion when alive, being a sohei who haunts a shrine. The Keeper is Neutral Evil, so is there anything we can infer from...
