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...

Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft. Well it'd be eight Colossal 2H weapons if this theoretical abomination used its hands as well.

Hold on a moment, we've already got 18/day blink in the Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. I already treated it as a stackable SLA! EDIT: Although I did miscalculate the number of uses, based on three dragons rather than four. If they stack it should be 24/day. :ENDEDIT

We've still got the Dark Dweller and Taker of Life to convert.

Updating the Weredragon (True Drakanthrope) Working Draft. I'd just go through it in order, so Special Attacks next.

By the way, what are we calling these things? The Creature Catalog has Fachan for the weird Forgotten Realms version and Lesser Fachan for the Celtic version. Which seems off to me, wouldn't they be better as a Faerûn Fachan and just Fachan? Never mind, it's too late to change it. So if the...

Will note that in the Working Draft. Hmm… A 3E standard issue Ogre is Str 21, Dex 8, Con 15, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha 7. The Fachan has a +4 damage bonus while a 2E Common Ogre has "weapon +6" damage and a +2 to hit, which suggests it might have a slightly lower Strength. However, the MC Fachan...

I'm happy to keep going with the conversions.

Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft. Okay, next is Reactions. Do you fancy anything here or shall we leave it empty and move on to the Legendaries?

Yeah although it would seem prudent to call the latter the "host modron" to avoid confusion with standard base modrons (e.g. monodrones to pentadrones), especially if the sample creature has its brain implanted in a hierarch modron!

Updating Bielgorad Working Draft. The full immobilization involves the crook-grappled target being dropped into an enchanted net held by another bielgorad, so we're going to need to add that as a Special Attack too. The fact that a creature trapped in the crook "cannot cast magic or fight"...
