Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[Shade]

Suddenly, the wall of the chamber near the ramp bulges outward, the wood creaking and groaning. The bulge takes on a humanoid shape and splits off from the trunk of the tree, becoming a hulking figure made entirely of living wood, covered in sharp thorns and wielding a club formed from the substance of its own body. It moves toward you with surprising swiftness.

Based on the emphasized bit, I think that could provide support for Dex 12, since its movement isn't exactly "swift".

 

[freyar]

That suits me fine, too.

Updated.

Listen 5, Spot 6?

Organization: Solitary or x

Challenge Rating: 5? They seem on par with Large earth elementals.

Treasure: None?

Alignment: Always neutral?

Advancement: 9–15 HD (Large); 16–24 HD (Huge)? (This follows standard elemental progression)

I think we could give them some ranks in Hide, and a racial bonus to hiding in heavy undergrowth, based on the passage above. Agreed to CR 5, alignment and advancement.

 

[Shade]

Sounds good. Hide 5, Listen 3, Spot 3?

Borrow from the cat...

*In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus rises to +8.

 

[freyar]

Yes to all that.

For organization, maybe a patch or a stand?

 

[demiurge1138]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Shade]

Patch works for me. 2-6?

Thorn ogres stand 9 to 10 feet tall and weigh x to x pounds.

Thorn ogres speak Giant and Sylvan?

 

[freyar]

600-800 lb? 2-6 and languages are good.
