Converting Forgotten Realms monsters

[Cleon]

Whenever that's updated, how about CR 3?

My thinking is this is one of those monsters with a very "swingy" Challenge Rating. Basically, its CR depends on what magic items the party has.

CR 3 seems a reasonable ballpark for an incorporeal creature with its Power Touch attacks and myriad defences.

Hmm, it might even lean towards CR 4, depending on the likelihood of its PC opponents being loaded down with magic items for the Tarsardar to turn against them.

I'm inclined to err on the side of caution and go with 4.

CR 4 is ok, though I think a party of that level isn't likely to have too many (or too powerful) magic items.

Shall I update it with Challenge Rating 4, then?

Go for it.

Go for it.

Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!

Oh, right, we're not converting the Miniature Giant Space Hamster.

Working Draft gone for.

Are you OK removing the rest of the red questions? I'm OK cutting them.

Ahh....good memories.

Yes. And drop the "special damage reduction" down below.

Updating Working Draft.

I cut out the skills entry as well, since we didn't give it any racial bonuses to skills.

Whew, stats done? Just flavor and tactics? Animate items and blast people with the power touch?

That's about it.

Guess we need generic background info as well as an "In Mystara" section.
