Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

What's the regular version? You want to split something out for all of them?

I thought we were just going to give them some Weapon Throwing feat and possibly a small bonus to attack for the basic version.

A bit like rock throwing and the common +1 racial bonus for giants?

That'd do.

If we could get a homebrews going, it would be a lot easier to figure out what we've got for these.

How much extra damage for "improved throwing"? +2d6?

Be careful there, I wouldn't want to trip over your hints...

That wouldn't make much of a dent in a dragon. I was thinking more +1d6 plus 1d6 per 2 additional levels, like a rogue's Sneak Attack.

 

[freyar]

As rogue's sneak attack works.

Care to phrase that as a Special Attack?

"Menu Item":

Improved Weapon Throwing (Ex): An undead dragon slayer can throw any weapon as an attack against a dragon. The attack does not take any penalties for being an improvised weapon but instead gains a +4 racial attack bonus and does +1d6 plus +1d6 per 2 HD of the undead dragon slayer of extra damage. The attack bonus does not stack with that gained from the Weapon Throwing ability.

For all of them:

Weapon Throwing (Ex): Undead dragon slayers can throw any weapon as an attack against a dragon. The attack does not take any penalties for being an improvised weapon but instead gains a +1 racial attack bonus.

Added to Homebrews, finally. Rejoice!
