Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[freyar]

Going by cubic feet per day makes a lot of sense.

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to the dimensions thing.

 

[Shade]

Absolutely! Thanks for figuring that out.

SR = CR + 11?

Challenge Rating: x

Advancement: 16-45 HD (Huge)?

Diamond spinners are 15 feet in diameter and weigh x pounds.

 

[freyar]

SR, advancement seem good. 30000 lb (a little less than volume scaling from the regular space spiders). CR 9, I guess.

Master Spider
This is simply the oldest, wisest diamond spinner of the lair. As such, it has maximum hit points and the ability to communicate telepathically with all its offspring. The master spider guides the construction of the lair, a bubble-like maze, through mental commands.

Are we making the master spider an underbar of the diamond spinners, or giving it its own entry?

 

[demiurge1138]

I think the master spider can be an underbar. How about fully advanced rather than max hit points?

 

[Shade]

That sounds great.

Give it simple telepathy with all spiders in its hive, or something more like empathic link?

 

[demiurge1138]

Telepathy, I think.

 

[freyar]

Agreed to telepathy. I'd also like to add some sort of "natural maze" ability, like with the manotaur:

Forest Maze (Ex): A manotaur can create a natural labyrinth in its home forest. To do so, the manotaur must spend at least a month pounding out these paths with their hooves. This maze may cover up to one square mile. Any creature entering this natural maze must succeed on a DC 25 Survival check or become lost (see Getting Lost in the Dungeon Master\'s Guide).

 

[Shade]

Good idea!

Updated.

Look OK?
