    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    There's a linked Index in the Zip folder Creature Catalog (Download Version). It's file "( CCIndex ).htm". Just unpack the folder and open CCIndex in a browser and the links should connect to the conversions in the unpacked folder. There's also the Completed Creatures Index & Current...

    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    Rather than "when advanced to the same size category" it needs its current size to be Huge or larger, which is already in the writeup. Also, it should be "dragon type" not "base dragon" as that'd means only weredragons whose dragon age category was Huge or larger could Crush and we want...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    Considered LA +2 like an Ogre or Minotaur, but the Greater Fachan's got better Dexterity, Constitution and NA than both of those. It's Monocular Vision is a slight handicap, but the –2 penalty to ranged attacks is compensated for by the higher Dex. An Ogre's Dex 8 gives it a 3 points lower...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I was thinking Challenge Rating 5 as well, based on their combatworthiness being roughly halfway between a CR 3 Ogre and CR 7 Hill Giant. They're definitely a rung up from a Minotaur. Considering how weird some of the things that have Level Adjustment are I don't think I'd agree with you...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    I'm inclined to continue with the OA2 conversions. If Big Mac was up to joining a hengeyokai conversion I'd be up for switching tracks, but if the conversions are being left to us usual suspects I'd rather finish what we started.

    Converting True Dragons

    Also remembered there's a "her her" duplication error in Pearl's tactics that needs to be corrected with the next update.

    Converting True Dragons

    Came up with the following for the Description: An titanic dragon with glorious white scales that sparkle with a myriad points of light in every color of a rainbow. Opal, also known as The Sun Dragon, is an immortal dragon who leads Neutral dragons. In his glorious true form, The Sun Dragon is...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    Updating Bielgorad Working Draft with the Pungency. The "allt" is a typo of "ally." Do we want some rule as to how to remove the net? The SRD of a standard combat net has: An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and...

    Kraken Variants

    Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft. All the current Creature Catalog versions of the Krakentua have 120 foot darkvision, so I'm inclined to leave that unchanged. Come to think of it, regular Kraken also have low-light vision so should we add that as...

    Converting True Dragons

    Updated the Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. Not feeling energetic enough to whip up the flavour & tactics at the moment.

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Comparing the official 3.0 and 3.5 versions of the higher base modrons, the latter have one more Hit Dice and significantly better AC and ability scores. Quadrone: 3.0 D&D Medium-Size Outsider Hit Dice: 4d8+4 (22 hp) Armor Class: 16 (+2 Dex, +4 natural) Abilities: Str 16, Dex 15, Con 13, Int...

    Converting Planescape monsters

    Clarification. As we're following the lead of the Base Modrons in Dragon #354 a standard Decaton is a regular construct. It's modrons that are severed from the Modron Energy Pool (i.e. rogues or exiles) that have the living construct trait. Brain-swapped modronoids presumably are not bonded to...

    Completed Creatures Index & Current Conversions

    Firstly, I'll refer you to my previous post that the original MC entry has no support for Nyraala Golem's being mutated living creatures. They're clearly artificial beings made by combining tissues from other lifeforms. There are multiple golems which are constructed like that, the classic...

    Converting monsters from Tales From The Infinite Staircase

    I put Intelligence 18 in there because the original had "Int genius (18)" in its statblock, but there's no harm in bumping it up. After all it does, literally, have a brain the size of a (small) planet if its nervous system is spread across all of Maelost. Would even be prepared to go higher...

    Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

    So like: Breath Weapon (Su): A weredragon can use its breath weapon in both hybrid and dragon form. The breath weapon is the same as the base dragon advanced to the weredragon's total racial hit dice. For example, a wyrmling bronze ogre weredragon with 6 dragon hit dice and 4 giant hit dice...

    Converting monsters from Dragon magazine

    I could agree with all of that. Toughness is a borderline useless feat but it is standard for Ogres. I'll pencil it in for now but would be open to swapping it for something else. Updating the Greater Fachan Working Draft.

    Completed Creatures Index & Current Conversions

    Nah. Their 2E entry says Nyraala are golems multiple times, they're definitely Constructs. The Habitat/Society says they're "automatons" and compares them to Brain Golems, which are creatures made of brains statted as Constructs in the 3E Fiend Folio. While there is one sentence in Ecology...

    Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

    You've got a URL of http://list of Hengeyokai' in the "list of hengeyokai" above. A quick bit of internet-fu indicates the Piazza Kara-Tur forum is https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?t=36598. Planewalker.com had 3.5 Planar Hengeyokai PCs in the Races chapter of their Planescape...

    Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

    How's this: Pungency (Ex): A bielgorad exudes a strong noxious stink. All creatures with a sense of smell within 100 feet of a bielgorad can make free Spot checks (DC 5 plus 1 per 10 feet of distance) to notice the odor. Creatures with bonuses to scent-based skill checks, such as wolves' +4...

    5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

    Okay, these Giant Mosquitoes are only the size of a very small bird like a Robin* or Wren. * I mean proper Robin Rebreasts (Erithacus rubecula) like we have over here, not those Thrushes with a makeover they call Robins (Turdus migratorius) in America. Both Eurasian Wrens (Troglodytes...
