Dang it, I forgot the Sorcerer skills. That's why it had 231 total SPs in the Slaiyith Working Draft instead of 189. Sorcerer has proficiency in Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (arcana), Profession, and Spellcraft. I think we should max out Concentration and Spellcraft, so that's 6 SPs...

There's a bit of a contradiction in the Lankhmar - City of Adventure (1993) version that says "They seem never to need food or other nourishment" while having "DIET: Carnivore" in the stats. We'll have to pick one or the other, but I'm leaning towards them not needing to eat. How's this...

That seems overly elaborate. Wouldn't it be easier changing the last sentence to "if the dragon form has those attacks" or "provided it has those attacks in dragon form"? Like so: A weredragon in hybrid form gains two claw attacks and a bite attack as natural weapons. A Large or larger hybrid...

That feels a bit too thick and heavy for me. The illustration in Dragon #89 shows an ooze-like creature that's quite "flat" and wide. Assuming the human wizard in the picture is 6 foot tall, I'd guesstimate the illustrated Ihagnim is about 14 feet in diameter with pseudopods that are 6 inches...

Giving them both the Construct and Planar Monster Type is a bit bizarre and I can't offhand think of any official BECMI monster that has such. It also has a logical clash with their description: Bielgorad die rather than submit to mind-control but in BECMI, like 3E, creatures of the Construct...

Let's use 4d8 then. Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft.

How much do we want to use from the Great Modron March? That specifies who the Modronoids' creator was (Valran Stonefist), what group ended up backing him (the Tacharim) and how he ended up (as a Decaton Modronoid). We could put that in the Background and add a sentence or two that "demented...

Will include the fixes in the next update. Well there's no description in the original so shall we just make something up? Hmm… how about we base it on a stereotypical Sohei: We can make the robes all white (the colour worn at funerals), have nothing but have emptiness or a black void...

Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. Hang about, eighth level? You've skipped the seventh level spells. Either of those two are worthy spells, but I don't think they're worth a Sorcerer slot. It's unlikely Opal will need to use them multiple times. We can always swap an 8th-level...

Works for me. Not the most exciting of collections but it's easy to adjudicate. That leaves Skills. It needs 189 Skill Points worth, or seven maxed-out Skills. The base Slaiyith has 114 SPs, which it divided between six maxed-out skills: Concentration, two Knowledges, Listen, Spot and...

That means the Bleak One is done, but we still need a Background section for the Gladiator Lizard.

A True Dragons' natural attacks depend on their size category not their LA, so I'm unclear why you think the current wording doesn't allow a weredragon in Large dragon form to use wings and tail slap attacks. Would rewording it to be more explicit help? Come to think of it, the Damage should...

Works for me. Updating the Ihagnim. I've removed the "Hide –6* [+10 on Astral Plane]" and "Skills: An ihagnim's translucent body grants it a +16 racial bonus on Hide checks against the background of the Astral Plane." If we've using take 10 for the previous Hide +10 then should we bump the...

Posted a placeholder Bielgorad Working Draft.

Bielgorad Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil, Goatkin) Hit Dice: 6d8+24 (39 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 30 ft. in banded armor (6 squares); base speed 40 ft. Armor Class: 22 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural, +2 banded armor), touch 10, flat-footed 21 Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+14 [+18 with...

Well compared to the Goatkin they ain't complicated but that isn't saying much. Yup. What subtypes if any do they have? I can see (Goatkin) or possibly even (Goatkin, Tanar'ri) for them. Also, are there any existing monsters we can use as models or inspiration. Maybe Minotaurs or one of...

Hmm, so long as it does a bit less with its punching than if it picks up a decent weapon I'm OK with its. Let's see, a Colossal katana does 6d8 damage which averages to 27. That's more than the 22 average of 4d10. Although that begs the question of what its damage becomes should it gain the...

Agreed. Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. So we're all done apart from the background?

Yeah, let's just go for the average for male humans as we don't have anything else to go on. How about: The Keeper of the Keys and uses ghost step to maneuver around the battlefield with little risk of being struck by enemies. It favors melee combat but will use missiles and spells to soften...

I'd assume it's possible but it's not something either Freyar nor I could do. We don't have any admin rights over Enworld. We used to be able to edit and update monster entries to the old Creature Catalog website, but that was the limit of our powers. The original arrangement Scott Greene...
