Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

[Cleon]

All set then...

Just a bit of brainstorming...

What senses are we giving them - blindsight? How much Darkvision?

Presumably they'll have hefty racial bonuses to Listen and Spot (and maybe Search), since that's their raison d'etre.

All Around Vision?

Spider Climbing?

Low Str. High Int, Dex and Wis. Mediocre Cha?

Not sure about the Con. The +4 in 4+4 HD implies a decent Con, but the feathery and fragile description suggests a less robust Constitution. Maybe their Aberrant anatomy has so much redundancy they are very resistant to damage?

 

[freyar]

I'll agree with just about all of that.

Int 15, Wis 22 or so, Dex 19-20? Maybe Str around 5 or 6? Cha needs to be ok, given their SLAs and Su abilities. Possibly 15-16 like Int. As far as Con goes, I'm inclined to go with the 15-16 range or maybe even higher. As you say, they're aberrations.

Probably a decent range to the darkvision.

Str 6, Dex 19, Con 15, Int 15, Wis 22, Cha 16?

Probably a decent range to the darkvision.

I'd go for 120 ft., like a Drow elf.

 

[freyar]

That all looks reasonable to me.

 

[Shade]

That all looks reasonable to me.

Me too.

 

[Cleon]

That all looks reasonable to me.

What about the other senses, like Blindsight?

 

[freyar]

There's not exactly a suggestion of blindsight, but it would certainly make sense given the flavor. Sure, I say we add it.

30 feet?

 

[freyar]

Agreed. Seems like we're ready for a rough homebrews.

Clunk!

I think you might have dropped something, I found this hint lying on the floor...
