[QUOTE="dante58701, post: 4189908, member: 40336"] Making 4E monsters and converting them to 3.5 is not possible without completely rewriting the monsters. 4E is NOTHING like 3.5 at all. It's not even D&D. Rolemaster is more D&D than 4E is, and that's incredibly sick. 4E lacks ALL the nuances of D&D, except, the names of the monsters, and completely sickens me in it's LAZY approach to creation. It's not D&D it's MINIATURES. They definitely have that right.
