Converting Epic Level Beings

[BOZ]

eh, it wouldn't be the first time D&D has screwed up mythology.

but i'm not in the business of making D&D critters that match with mythology, i'm about upgrading old stats.

if, however, you feel that making Antaeus a Gigante would be wrong, i would be fine with dropping the whole racial idea and just make Antaeus and Enceladus two unrelated giants.

No, it wouldn't.

Covertin' is our business...and business is good.

Yeah, I think unique giants may work best, like 1E DD&G did it. It looks like 2E L&L dropped the ball.

We can definitely mention the other gigantes in Encel's description, though.

 

[BOZ]

OK, that is how we shall do it, then.

 

[Shade]

Cool.

SIZE: L(U'-2T)

What does this mean?

 

[BOZ]

that means text doesn't always scan the way you want it to. i'll have to look it up in the actual book at home, unless someone else can tell me what antaeus' actual height is from D&DG.

 

[Shade]

I have no clue, but if we want to stick with the "begins the size of a hill giant", that's easy to determine.

 

[BOZ]

right, i mean check out my initial conversion - i did that straight from the book long before i started using scanners.

 

[Shade]

OK..gotcha. Let's see...starts at 11 feet tall, grows to the size of a titan.

 

[Clifford]

So like each round he grows a foot or something gaining +1 str +1 con. this will eventualy give him more hit points and better damage. (why am i reminded of the hulk movie?) anyway.
Back to convertin!

Antaeus' height should be "L (11'-21')" - almost forgot to post that!
