Converting Epic Level Creatures

[Clifford]

Have we done fafnir yet?

 

[Shade]

I don't believe we have...and it apparently has stats in Supplement IV: Gods, Demigods, Heroes (which I don't have).

I found the Supplement IV entry via Google...

Dragons:
Most of the Dragon's abilities in this Mythos will conform to those of D & D. There are only three types present, White, Red and Green. Some dragons of note are:
Fafnir: This dragon was slain by Sigurd. When its blood is consumed it bestows the person with the ability to understand all types of bird languages. It guards a hoard of a double H treasure.
Nidhug: This dragon dwells below the tree Ygdrasil where it gnaws relentlessly at its roots.
Ofnir: This dragon helps Nidhug in his duties.


So, it looks like we can pretty much stat him up from scratch.

Fafnir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We should also make him a linnorm. He's probably comparable to a corpse tearer.

Good call!

Well, the corpse terror, in 2nd edition, was pretty clearly Niddogh. Fafnir should be rather less powerful than that. Probably CR 19-21.

 

[Clifford]

Hmm.. So are we makeing fafnir non unique. I think they did that to corpse terror?

 

[Shade]

Despite lacking epic feats and SLAs, corpse tearer is still "epic" at CR 28.

So maybe shoot for CR 24-25 for Fafnir?

 

[Clifford]

I am in the school of thought that unique epic critter should be EPIC!!

 

[Shade]

Epic starts at CR 21, so we should be good.
