[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8973734, member: 2209"] I couldn't say on converting PF2 monsters. I am running my second conversion of Paizo adventure paths to 5e and usually swapping in 5e equivalent monsters or CRs and it has worked so far with PCs from levels one to six so far, but that was with Pathfinder 1e modules, which is the equivalent of 3e monsters and encounter design balance. I played a lot of 3e, 3.5, and Pathfinder 1e and I am familiar with and comfortable with judging those mechanics. I have a bunch of PF2e stuff from two Humble Bundle deals but have not done more than skim some of the mechanics (three action phases, a little bit of skills, and some character creation aspects). I have not played or DMd any PF2 so I could not say how the monsters mechanics could apply or what to watch out for. There are a number of 5e Asian monster books however if you want specific monsters for an Asian setting Curse of Strahd instead of just reskinning the ones from CoS. Legendary Games has a 112-page [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/362554/Asian-Monsters-5E?affiliate_id=17596']Asian Monsters 5e[/URL] book and I have liked a number of their monster books (I read a bunch from their Pathfinder 1e line and have a couple 5e ones I have not delved into yet). They also have a shorter 28-page [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/185787/Beasts-of-Legend-Beasts-of-the-East-5E?affiliate_id=17596']Beasts from the East[/URL] 5e sourcebook. There used to be a separate 5e Beasts from the East series of PDFs from Evil Beagle Games/[URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/22398/Mobius-Worlds-Publishing?affiliate_id=17596']Mobius World[/URL] with sourcebooks for monsters from India, China, and Japan that were pretty fantastic, but I don't see them available for sale anymore. From DM's Guild the [URL='https://www.dmsguild.com/product/226286/5e-Oriental-Adventures-Reference?affiliate_id=17596']5e Oriental Adventures Reference[/URL] is only $4.99 and has 350+ D&D monsters from piror oriental adventures material converted to 5e and ones inspired by more modern sources.
