Okay, the 3.5 Tertian has 26 HD, which is pretty close to 50% higher than the 17 HD of the AD&D and 3.0 versions. Its HP of 199 is about 20% more than the 166 hp of a 3.0 Decaton. So 15 HD for the Decaton as suggested earlier might work, for either 15d10+20 (102 hp) or 15d10+35 (117 hp)...

I'm starting to wonder about dropping the living construct trait for the brainswapped modrons. It'd just add a lot of changes to the base creature like a Constitution score and being subject to energy drain that we don't have explicit support for from the original adventure. In The Great Modron...

So the 3.5 version of the Tertian has Improved Toughness. That plus its construct bonus HP accounts for its somewhat decent hit points. Hmm, according to the D&D Wiki Improved Toughness is covered by the Open Game License 1.0a so we'd be allowed to use it with our Decaton. So I'm thinking Hit...

Come to think of it, there is one. The adventure "Diplomacy by Christopher Wissel in Dungeon #144 (March 2007) has a Tertian Modron, so here's the comparison: AD&D Stats TERTIAN CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Mechanus FREQUENCY: Very rare ORGANIZATION: Hierarchy ACTIVITY CYCLE: Any DIET: Special...

Yeah, let's go for that for the time being. Hmm, the Quadrone has 113.6% more hit points in 3.5 (47 hp) than 3.0 (22 hp) and the Pentadrone 65.6% more hit points (53 vs 32). Increasing the HD by two would give the Decaton Hit Dice 12d10+20 (75 hp), which is only 15.4% more than the 3.0...

I gave the Cleon Special Dark Dweller Portion all-odd physical stats (Str 25, Dex 15, Con 19) and all-even mental stats (Int 18, Wis 18, Cha 20) with Charisma a couple of points higher than the rest. If we followed that, the closest match to the above would be Int 24, Wis 24, Cha 26. I'm...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...
