[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8469311, member: 57383"] Okay, while posting the above I noticed three more errors and a minor inconsistency in the D&D Beyond Versions. Firstly, the Rhagodessa ought to have "[I]Hit:[/I] 9 (2d6 + 2)", somehow I failed to notice it's average damage shouldn't be 8 as far back as the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/attachments/solifugidmedium-png.147292/'][B]Medium Rhagodessa[/B][/URL][/B]! Secondly, their Perception +2 and Passive Perception 13 don't match up. They should either have +3 and 13 or +2 and 12. No idea how I missed that one! Now, the usual "rule of thumb" is creatures that are extra-proficient at skills get twice their Proficiency Bonus, which is why the Giant Spider has Stealth +7 (from its Dex +3 and another +4 from twice its +2 Proficiency Bonus), so I'd go for +3 and 13. Thirdly, the Flyweight has Stealth +3 just from its Dex, if it's proficient it should have +5. So I would change it to: [B][SIZE=5]Flyweight[/SIZE] Skills[/B] Perception +3, Stealth +5 [B]Senses[/B] blindsight 60 ft., Passive Perception 13 [B][SIZE=5]Giant & Rhagodessa[/SIZE] Skills[/B] Perception +3 [B]Senses[/B] blindsight 60 ft., Passive Perception 13 Finally, I only just noticed that the Giant version has Int 2 while the two Medium sized ones have Int 3. They both give the same ability modifier, so I'm wondering why the incongruity. Shouldn't they all have the same Intelligence, probably 2 like the Giant Solifugid, since I haven't seen any folklore portraying Solifugids as "cunning" like a Spider (which I guess is why Giant Spiders have Int 3 in 5E, although that's still way inferior to the Intelligence of 5 to 7 they had in AD&D) Personally, I prefer Int 1 (−5) like a Giant Scorpion, but it's your conversion.
