Converting "generic setting" second edition monsters

[Shade]

What are we missing, other than deciding on the third feat?

 

[BOZ]

that, and the three remaining skill ranks. weight?

i'll check my notes later to see if there's anything else i missed.

Its original size was "L (12' tall or wide)". Looking at the most similar creatures:

A mimic (Large) can have almost any dimensions, but usually is not more than 10 feet long. A typical mimic has a volume of 150 cubic feet (5 feet by 5 feet by 6 feet) and weighs about 4,500 pounds.

A phasm (Medium) in its natural form is about 5 feet in diameter and 2 feet high at the center. Swirls of color indicate sensory organs. In this form, a phasm slithers about like an ooze and can attack with a pseudopod. It weighs about 400 pounds.

So maybe....

A protein polymorph can have almost any dimensions, but usually is not more than 12 feet long. A typical protein polymorph has weighs about 6,000 pounds.

The remaining 3 skill ranks could go into Search or Survival. Maybe Track would make a better 3rd feat choice, since "protein polymorphs are voracious hunters and must devour food regularly to provide the necessary nutrients", and it is as intelligent as an average human?

Another skill option would be Climb with possibly Stealthy as the third feat.

True, although it could just take a form with a climb speed and get a free +8 racial bonus in the process.

 

[BOZ]

good point - i'll go with Survival and Track then.

updating...

 

[Shade]

I think that'll do it. Wow...that one wasn't nearly as difficult as I'd expected!

 

[BOZ]

it helped that Erica did a lot of the work already - i posted a link in that NG thread, so maybe some folks will show up to take a look.
