Converting First Edition monsters from DRAGON magazine

[Shade]

i could definitely see keeping Persuasive. Dodge and Mobility are not bad feats, but incubus is definitely more geared towards combat than the succubus.

How about Weapon Focus and Improved Critical (claw)?

for skills, you're probably right. while incy has more HD, it has less Int, so he gets less skill ranks. how about Bluff 12, Concentration 7, Disguise 8, Escape Artist 7, Hide 8, Intimidate 7, Knowledge (any one) 8, Listen 8, Move Silently 7, Search 8, Spot 8

That'll work.

the LA might be less because he has less in the way of SLAs?

Probably not. It's mainly having "at will" SLAs that account for that portion of the LA.

for CR, do we want to make him the same as succubus, give or take 1 CR?

Probably. He has 2 more HD, which would increase CR by 1 if we were advancing a succubi.

about about Weapon Focus and Power Attack?

CR 8 then?

 

[Shade]

Yes to all.

 

[BOZ]

wow, two speedy conversions in a row in the same thread!

updating...

 

[Shade]

It needs CR (8), SR (16), caster level for SLAs (8), and DC for energy drain (16).

 

[Shade]

Oh, and +4 size bonus on Jump checks (Jump +9).

 

[Knight Otu]

Oh, and +4 size bonus on Jump checks (Jump +9).

Speed bonus, not size bonus.

 

[Shade]

Yeah, what my devoted defender said.

 

[BOZ]

OK then! updating in homebrews... any remaining issues there?

 

[Shade]

Not that I can see. It looks fit for print to me.
