Huh? We should only rename it if the ability works differently from standard Trample. Doing a bit more damage than an average Trample isn't different enough to justify that. There are plenty of monsters whose trample does more than the default of "the creature's slam damage + 1½ times its Str...

Y'okay. Let's see… The half rank ones would come to 26×6 and 27×6 if we divided them evenly, but I think instead I'll put 25 ranks in each, since it's the minimum for a +4 synergy bonus. That leaves 18 ranks, so I'll put 16 ranks in Hide to cancel the Colossal size penalty and the leftover 2...

I've updated the Decaton Working Draft with some of the stuff from the Wizards sources. The AD&D versions of the Decaton could only use their healing spell-like abilities on other modrons, but for some reason the official 3.0 version could use its heal, healing circle, remove disease and remove...

So, getting back on track what shall we do about the Dark Dweller's Strength score? I'm not that keen on giving it Titan level strength since that'll give it an equally titanic attack and damage bonus. So how about we give it a racial bonus to grapple checks so its grapple bonus is roughly the...

Just noticed a very minor formatting error in Valgoss Working Draft. The Worm Lord's 5th-level spell lines ended with a ";" semi-colon when they should end in "." period. It's been fixed in the Working Draft and the correction will appear in the next CC Download update.

Decaton Medium Construct (Extraplanar, Lawful) Hit Dice: d+8 ( hp) Initiative: +– Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares), fly 10 ft. (poor) Armor Class: 1 (+– Dex, + natural), touch 1, flat-footed 1 Base Attack/Grapple: +/+ Attack: Tentacle + melee (1d6+) Full Attack: 10 tentacles + melee (1d6+) Space/Reach...

I like the Return of the Modrons versions better than the 3.0 Manual of the Planes ones as well. Guess we're statting up a Decaton then!

So change it to Monstrous Beetle Swarm? That works for me. Just calling them carnivorous beetles is too generic for my tastes, plus it makes clear they aren't regular meat-eating beetles. Updating Monstrous Beetle Swarm Working Draft and Carnivorous Monstrous Beetle Swarm Working Draft So...

Well we've got to figure out the Special Qualities and decide on the Challenge Rating. For the former, I think we're OK cribbing from the Weredrake: Hmm, apart from changing "Weredrake" to "Weredragon" di we need to add Spell Resistance to the above? That's a Special Quality listed in the SRD...

Have corrected/updated the Greater Fachan Working Draft. Also struck the question mark from the "Temperate hills and mountains" Environment. Is 2d4 rock damage OK for you? Presumably it's another copy/pasted error. From what I remember, the Stone Maiden was converted on the CC's Al-Qadim...

I'm fine with continuing to use the original statblock layout and not bothering redoing the monsters we've already converted. The numbers will remain the same, after all.

That's already in the Brainswapped Modronoid (Template) Working Draft. Return of the Modrons only has stats for the Base Modrons. As I said above, we don't have official 3.5 stats for a Decaton. Shall we just stat it up ourselves using the official Modron stats as a guide?

Nope. There was talk of doing a Noble rank Dao quite a time ago. Considering how slow progress on the Firelord's been (and everything else on this forum), it'd likely be a while before anything happens with that one.

Yeah, I can go along with that. Updating Bielgorad Working Draft. I'll tweak the first paragraph of the Crook to say it's an exotic melee weapon to specify non-bielgorads skilled in halberd but not crook get a –4 penalty on attack rolls for not being proficient in the weapon.

Hiya Oryan! It's been a while since you've visited this neck of the woods. Freyar's been busy so the 3.5 collaborative stuff has been going at a snail's pace, but you're welcome to join in whenever it suits you. Or if you want to be a little more up-to-date there's always the Fifth Edition...

Hmm… well off the top of my head the highest trample damage critter I can think of in standard AD&D sources is the Brachiosaurus*, which: Monster Manual (1977) "Similar to apatosaurs, they might step on something small, causing 8-80 points of damage." Monstrous Compendium Volume Three-...

Was wondering about maybe increasing the Carnivorous version's swarm damage to 3d6 and making it CR 4. Also wondered about tweaking the Carnivorous version's abilities to Dex 12, which'd make it: Armor Class: 13 (+2 size, +1 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 12 Attack (Swarm): Swarm (3d6) [?] Attack...

Okay, just finished a first draft for the Beetle Swarm Working Draft and Carnivorous Beetle Swarm Working Draft.

I see little point in going full rank for the Knowledge skills, so here's a counterproposal. Full Ranks: Bluff, Concentration, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Listen, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Spot, Tumble, Use Magic Device Half Ranks: Appraise, Climb, Hide, Jump, Knowledge (arcane), Knowledge...

Boy things have been progressing slowly, but we've finished enough conversions to do an Update of the Creature Catalog (Download Version):
