How's this: Special Attacks: A weredragon retains the special attacks of the base creature or base dragon, depending on which form it is using, and also gains the special attacks described below. In hybrid form a weredragon retains the special attacks of the base creature and gains the special...

Also, if we're giving it standard giant Rock Throwing it'd have a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls so we'd need to make its poor depth perception penalty –3 if we want it to have a –2 total penalty like the original. It'd be simpler to just not give it the racial bonus to attack when chucking...

A quick check of official sources isn't having much luck. There's a Special Quality called Poor Depth Perception but can't find an official creature with it. The CC version of the Cyclopskin was a pertinent ability: Want to use that if we can't find anything better?

Works for me. Agreed. Will include that in the next update. There are one-eyed creatures in official sources such as Cyclopes. Do they have a SQ we can "borrow"? Nope. An AD&D Hill Giant can hurl a rock up to 200 yards, which is considerably further than the 60 yards of a Fachan. A 3E...

Come to think of it, I haven't added either of these Modronoids, or the Bielgorad for that matter, to the conversions Index thread. Updating Completed Creatures Index & Current Conversions.

The modronoid version of Valran has an identical statblock to a regular Decaton apart from lacking the clerical spellcasting, so if we follow that example the template should retain the modron's SAs and SQs apart from spells, such as All-Around Vision, Damage Reduction, Resistances, Telepathy et...

Okay, for the Legendaries we can start by picking out what Standard/Bonus/Reaction Actions to include and then think about whether to add any more. So I was thinking Purifying Pyre from Actions plus both Fiery Eyes and Flash Step from Bonus Actions. As for Reactions, we could give it a...

The statblock has "2 fists or 1 weapon" as its Attacks, and the weapon does 1d10+5 (+3 from its Strength, +2 from magic). Bielgorad "wield +2 magical weapons" and "these oversized weapons include a crook" so I'm presuming that it's a polearm with some kind of hooked mancatcher attached to it...

Well the text doesn't say how big these beetles are, but if we want to keep the original's vulnerability to regular weapon damage and poor Armor Class we can't make them smaller than Tiny since Fine and Diminutive swarms are immune to weapon damage and would have a +4 or +8 size adjustment to...

By the way, are you OK with the Fiery Eyes saving throw being Constitution? Assuming so, unless you have some other abilities to propose we can move on to Legendary Actions.

Works for me. Updating the Efreeti Firelord Working Draft.

The versions we've already got in the CC have 8d12 trample damage, which is just a tad higher than the slam damage. For reference, the original monster trampled for 1d100 damage.

The 2024 Giant Spider doesn't have a save for its poison, but just does damage. I like the 2014 version's paralyzing poison better. So how will we be Indexing these? I'd rather not delete the links to the old versions from the Index considering the effort we spent on them, so shall I add...

Making it 3b is fine by me. We'll need a duration for the period of blindness. Maybe 5 (1d10) or 6 (1d12) rounds?

Better get cracking then, Will update the Indexes as you post the 2024 formatted versions. I plan to give them a quick eyeball to check for errors, just in case.

'Ere we go… Incandescent Rebuke (Recharge 5–6)[#1 Incendiary]. When a creature within 50 feet damages the efreeti firelord with an attack, the firelord can use its reaction to engulf the attacker with a surge of incandescent sparks from its Body of Smokeless Flame. The attacker takes 9 (2d8)...

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 Size Type Hit Dice: d+ ( hp) Initiative: +– Speed: ft. ( squares) Armor Class: 1 (+– size, Dex, + natural), touch 1, flat-footed 1 Base Attack/Grapple: +/+ Attack: X + melee (d+); or Z + ranged (d+) Full Attack: X + melee (d+) and Y + melee (d+); or Z + ranged (d+) Space/Reach: ft./...
