Converting Epic Level Creatures

[Shade]

You are correct. That's where the "fling" component of the feat comes in.

Feats look pretty good.

Of the skills, I'd drop Know (arcana) and Spellcraft (since he doesn't cast). And I think I'd drop Bluff and possibly Diplomacy to make room for Appraise.

 

[Shade]

How about we drop Concentration as well (since he lacks SLAs)? I'd prefer to keep Bluff over Diplomacy.

Thus, max ranks in Appraise, Bluff, Intimidate, Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Spot, Swim.

Look OK?

 

[freyar]

Oops, I was thinking about dropping Concentration and then forgot. Looks good!

Updated.

Alignment: Neutral evil?

Would someone well-versed in Norse mythology like to writeup the description and flavor text?

 

[freyar]

NE sounds good to me. I'll leave the flavor to someone else.

I dont recall ever hearing nor seeing a description of fafnir. Besides his marvel comics description. Many pictures depict him being green in color.

He should be a very stout dragon (He was a dwarf)

Also perhaps earth tones (Another dwarf thing) Maybe brownish green? Also green is the color of greed kinda fits his curse.

Being a mean melee monster fafy Should Have large claws and or teeth.

I imagine him with a stout flat head More like the tarrasques and less like a dragons. maybe somewhere in between?

And because they are cool, he needs horns on his head and spines down his spine.

There's a painting I have of Fafnir in mind. Long green linnorm with leonine paws, a crocodile-like head with several pairs of twisting horns.

Here's a bit more on Fafnir:
Chapter XVII: Of Sigurd's Avenging of Sigmund his Father.

Updated.

I worked up some flavor text based off that, other linnorm descriptions, the Wikipedia entry, and the the suggestions above. Feel free to expand on it.

That actually looks pretty good to me!
