Converting Forgotten Realms monsters

[demiurge1138]

NPC classes are never favored, if memory serves me right.

Hmmm...this is tough..I can't really see them as spellcasters...maybe fighter, since they protect the queen?

 

[freyar]

Fighter seems the best PC class option.

 

[Shade]

This part still makes that a tough pill to swallow...

Her drone servants which are the female Sha’az, are flightless and fight with a -2 attack penalty. The drones’ mandibles are not poisoned. They fight only if no other choice is available, or if the queen is in some sort of danger. Drones are not normally armed.

That doesn't sound like trained fighters. Maybe the drones should simply not advance, unless promoted to queen?

 

[freyar]

No advancement is fine (except to queen), and we don't have to stat them as a PC race either.

Edit: Or make them bards.

 

[Shade]

So if we ditch advancement, do we change them from being 1st-level commoners? Or can we just state in the flavor text that they are always commoners?

This is a weird critter.

Oy. These guys are making my head hurt. Let's go "can only advance in NPC classes" in the advancement text. No LA.

Oy. These guys are making my head hurt. Let's go "can only advance in NPC classes" in the advancement text. No LA.

This is probably the best solution. And just ditch the PC race options, too.

 

[Shade]

Agreed. Updated. Ready for the queen?

 

[demiurge1138]

Sure!
