Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enricorix" data-source="post: 6529977" data-attributes="member: 6779317">I found this topic searching for Age Of Worms conversions. I am working in some conversions myself, since the Age of Worms is about an epidemy, first of all I am treating the Kyuss worms as a vector. The green worm that carries and transmits the infectious pathogen known as The Gift of Kyuss. That disease is a magical and powerful curse as well. The gift of Kyuss infects primarily the living creatures transforming them into undead. As said only a living tiny, small, medium or large creature can be transformed into a spawn of Kyuss; larger creatures become normal zombies. Secondly the worms empowers some undeads making them resistant to turning undead for example.  So my approach to this in therms of game statistics is adopt a Template: The Spawns of Kyuss.As the Yuan-Ti I came with 2 Types of Kyuss Spawns: Spwnlings and Spawns.SpawnlingWhen a tiny or small creature becomes a spawnling of Kyuss, it retains its statistics except as described below. The creature loses any trait, such as Amphibious, that assumes a living physiology. The creature also loses any class and spellcasting ability. It still understands the languages it knew in life but can't speak.Type. The spawn of Kyuss's type changes to undead, and it no longer requires air, food, drink, or sleep.Damage Resistance. The spawn of Kyuss has resistance to necrotic damage.Damage Immunities. The spawn of Kyuss has immunity to poison. It also retains any immunities it had prior to becoming a spawn of Kyuss.Condition Immunities. The spawn of Kyuss can’t be charmed, frightened, paralyzed, or poisoned. It also doesn’t suffer from exhaustion.Kyuss Worm. Each worm deals 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing demage plus 2 (1d4) necrotic damage The worm is a tiny vermin with AC 10 and 1 hit point. Worms cannot survive outside of a host for more than 1 round, during this time, the worm can be killed by normal damage or the touch of silver.New Reaction: Shroud of Worms. Any creature that touches a spawn with an unarmed strike or other natural weapon is immediately attacked by 1d4 worms.Curative Destruction. Lesser Restoration and remove curse spells destroys the spawnling automatically.Gift of Kyuss. If the spawnling hits a creature with its melee attack, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be infected by a Kyuss worm. On the spawn’s next turn, the worm burrows into the flesh of the target, making its way toward the brain and causing  2 (1d4) necrotic damage per round until it reaches the brain 3 (1d4+1) rounds later. Once the brain is infected the target can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) and for every 24 hours that elapse. If the infestation reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the host dies and rises as a spawn of Kyuss 7 (1d6+4) rounds later. The infestation lasts until removed by the lesser restoration spell or other mean. A DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check extracts the worm and kills it.SpawnWhen a medium or large creature becomes a spawn of Kyuss, it retains its statistics except as described below.

It also doesn’t suffer from exhaustion.Regeneration. The spawn regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. If the spawn takes radiant damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the spawn’s next turn.Turn Resistance. The spawn has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.Multiattack. If the creature had a single melee attack in life it gains an extra melee attack. If the creature already had multiattack, all its natural melee attacks such slam, bite and claws can transfer a Kyuss worm per hit.New Action: Slam. If the target is a living creature, a Kyuss worm is transferred to the target creature. New Action: Wormsling. A spawn can attack a single living creature using Kyuss worms as a ranged weapon at the range of 10 ft./20 ft. If hits a living creature a Kyuss worm is transferred to the target.Kyuss Worm. Each worm deals 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing demage plus 2 (1d4) necrotic damage The worm is a tiny vermin with AC 10 and 1 hit point. Worms cannot survive outside of a host for more than 1 round, during this time, the worm can be killed by normal damage or the touch of silver.New Action: Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature within 40 feet of the spawn that can see it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this spawn’s Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The DC is 8 + double Base Creature’s Proficiency Bonus + Base Creature’s Charisma Modifier.New Reaction: Shroud of Worms. Any creature that touches a spawn with an unarmed strike or other natural weapon is immediately attacked by 1d4 worms.Curative Transformation. Greater Restoration and remove curse spells remove the spawn’s Regeneration, Turn Resistance, Horrific Appearance,  Kyuss Gift, Kyuss Worm, and all resistances and immunities except for poison and poisoned.Gift of Kyuss.
