Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

[Cleon]

The lawfulness of monks doesn't mesh well with the chaotic nature of drow and their goddess.

Ah, but inconsistency is an essential part of Chaos.

I'll go for ranger, or fighter/rogue.

Ranger/Rogue?

Ranger 5/Rogue 2 would give it all the prerequisites without messing about with cross-class skills.

Sounds good! I think I may even have one of those already statted up in my campaign archives...

Might as well use it if you've got it. If just to save us some time.

Yup. I like that class mix, too. How many shadowdancer levels do we want? 3 appeals to me, just to get it to character level 10.

That'll work. The ones I thought I had statted up turned out to be rogue 5/thief-acrobat 5. Since that's not a SRD prestige class, and these are 3e stats, I think it's best if we make new ones.

3 levels in Shadowdancer's OK. It means it hasn't got Shadow Jump yet, but it's gaseous form ability rather compensates for that.

Well then, what base stats would we like? Elite array 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8? Something like Str 14, Dex 15, Con 8, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 13 just to put the dump stat in the nonability?

 

[Shade]

That'll work, although I could see swapping Int with Wis (or even Cha) to get a better skill mix.

Yes, might as well put a higher stat in Int. Vampires (and Drow) both get decent racial bonuses to Cha, so we can afford a few points off there.

Then again, Drow get an Int bonus too, so it doesn't need to be that high to end up with a decent bonus.

Str 14, Dex 15, Con 8, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 10 ?

Ability advancements in Dex and Wis?

 

[freyar]

Sure, sounds good.
