Converting Epic Level Creatures

[freyar]

Yes, just a few adjustments:

4 fewer HD.
Fire and acid (or poison) breath instead.
Poison claws vs energy drain bite.
Then we can go back and forth over caster level and particulars perhaps.

 

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews, sans breath weapon and spellcasting until we decide upon them.

The poison is Fafnir's as a placeholder.

 

[freyar]

The poison is fine, I think, but let's switch it to claws.

Do we want the breath weapons to be fire and acid or fire and poison?

 

[demiurge1138]

Fire and acid sounds good.

 

[Shade]

Are we talking a single breath weapon that's half-fire/half-acid, or an option to choose between the two damage types? Cone(s) or line(s)?

 

[freyar]

Don't most linnorms get 2 distinct breath weapons? In any case, the original text clearly says he should get to choose one or the other each time. Sounds like they should both be cones.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

 

[Clifford]

Now what?

 

[freyar]

How much casting do we want?

 

[pawsplay]

Yeah, I was wondering about the spellcasting myself, since nothing in the original myths says anything about Fafnir having magical powers.

Well, he did turn himself into a dragon.
