Converting monsters from Dungeon Magazine

All that you guys suggested sounds good.

Within the module, they have a "kaiju smash" approach while looking for some stolen eggs. Perhaps we can give them some building-bashing abilities?

Also, since they are massive creatures found in water, some capsizing abilities might be warranted.

 

[freyar]

Tail slap attack ignores hardness up to 10? I'd agree with capsize, too.

Separate stat block for the young?

 

[Shade]

Both sound good.

Added to Homebrews.

 

[freyar]

For swallow whole: 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, 128 Tiny, or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents?

 

[Shade]

Sounds good.

Suggested claw damage?

Skills: 28

Feats: 9 (2 can be epic)

Fill in the Xs:

The swallowed creature takes x points of bludgeoning damage and x points of acid damage per round from the wani's gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal x points of damage to the gizzard (AC x).

A wani is 40 to 55 feet long and weighs x pounds.

3d6?

If it hunts like a croc, I'd go with splitting the ranks between Hide & Move Silently. Maybe a little Spot, too, if you want.

Snatch, Multiattack, Power Attack, Imp Bull Rush, Awesome Blow, Cleave, Imp Init, Dire Charge, Imp Multiattack?

 

[Shade]

Sounds good.

Updated.

CR 13-14? Its about on par with a giganotosaurus, but slightly better than a spinosaurus.

Advancement: 26-50 HD (Gargantuan); 50+ (Colossal)?

A wani is 40 to 55 feet long and weighs x pounds.

 

[freyar]

Your call on CR; either seems ok to me. Low AC but big damage output. Advancement is good. Compared to a very large croc (16 ft and 2600 lb), I'm going to say 20 tons for the weight.

 

[demiurge1138]

CR 13, let's say.
