[QUOTE="Iosue, post: 6475767, member: 6680772"] With my DMG, I tried my hand at creating a Basic D&D Thoul for 5e. What do you think? I was rather surprised at how closely I was able to mimic the Basic version. It's got the same AC, and does roughly the same damage. The HP are much higher, scaling with 5e damage. The CR of 1 works out nicely, since Thouls in Basic are Level 3 or 4 monsters with a number appearing of 1-6. In 5e, the average (3 thouls) would be a Hard to Deadly encounter for a 3rd Level party of 4, and a Medium to Hard encounter for a 4th level party of 4. That feels about right.
