Converting First Edition monsters from DRAGON magazine

[Shade]

Suggested skill ranks: Escape Artist 4, Hide 4, Move Silently 4, Open Lock 4, Search 4, Spellcraft 4, Tumble 4.

I figured Open Lock would help 'em break into libraries.

Let's give 'em Ability Focus, and make Weapon Finesse a bonus feat.

updating... this one's just about done too.

Environment: Temperate land works fine.

Treasure line looks fine.

Advancement: 2-4 HD (Tiny)

Caster level for arcane sight = 6th? (the minimum level for a sorcerer to cast it).

Now we just need to finish treasure in the text.

I figured this line covered that, more or less: “A quick perusal of an ekrat’s lair may turn up any number of scrolls, maps with magical writings, spellbooks, and more unique types of magical tomes or manuals.”

 

[Shade]

I guess it would. Leave it up to the DM, rather than random chance, to determine if that tome of understanding +3 is in the lair of a 1 HD fey. I like it.

 

[BOZ]

yap.

 

[BOZ]

OK, updating for another look, but i think this fella is done.

 

[Shade]

I think he's done.

If you're taking requests, I'd like to see the avari from Dragon 101 (Creature Catalog III).

 

[BOZ]

OK, i'll have a look at that one.

By the way, did you by any chance post a list of monsters from the first Creature Catalog? It's not on the master list.
