Converting Monsters from D&D Official Video Games

Updated.

I borrowed the prices in the training section from the also CR 6 deep hound.

Works for me, and I think it's done.

Let's call it a wrap, then.

The powers of Moander allow its followers to animate some plants. When the Cult of Moander joined with the wizard Marcus and the glabrezu Taleton, this power was extended to many of the trees of the Elven Court. The trees are unintelligent and mindlessly obey the orders of the cult. They strike with two large limbs.

Originally appeared in Pools of Darkness Adventurer's Journal (1991).

Well, there's not a lot here, is there? Looks like two pretty hefty slams. Want to borrow some stuff from treants and similar tree-plants? Or any other plants?

 

[Shade]

It seems like stronger (higher-HD), mindless treants would get the job done.

Maybe Str 34, Dex 8, Con 24, Int -, Wis 11, Cha 1?

 

[freyar]

Sure! Probably no "animate trees" though.

 

[demiurge1138]

Yeah. Do we want to keep the double damage to inanimate objects?

 

[freyar]

And Improved Sunder? Depends if we're making a rust monster out of them, I guess. Otherwise, they're pretty bland.

 

[Shade]

Yes to double damage. Improved Sunder will have to be a bonus feat, since, being mindless, they have no feats.

Do we want to increase the treant's damage from 2d6 to 3d6 or even 4d6?
