Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[demiurge1138]

I agree with needing to meet other prereqs. I think Awesome Blow is the only one that gets disqualified that way.

Sounds good.

However, if the horde loses more than 10% of its bodies in a single activity (one battle, for example), the creature either decides to resolve the problem peacefully (by negotiating or fleeing) or calls another horde for assistance.

Skills: 9 at 24 ranks
Concentration, Diplomacy, Jump, Listen, Knowledge (the planes), Search, Sense Motive, Spot, Tumble?

I'm thinking Diplomacy and Tumble to aid in "negotiating or fleeing".

Looks about right!

Since these all have the same Int, we can just say that skills reduce in rank appropriately by HD of largest member, at least when all skills are maxed out.

 

[Shade]

Yes, that would make scaling easy. Simply add or remove 1 rank per Hit Die added/removed from greatest member.

Want to add that to the collective mind entry?

Let's list the feats in order that they would get them. Let's say: Improved Initiative,
Power Attack, Cleave, Weapon Focus (slam), Improved Bull Rush, Improved Crit (slam), Awesome Blow. Does that work with the prereqs (I didn't check)?

 

[Shade]

Sounds good, except we lost a feat somewhere. They should have 8.

 

[freyar]

Hmm, I dropped Great Cleave somehow. Maybe Improved Initiative, Power Attack, Cleave, Weapon Focus (slam), Great Cleave, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Crit (slam), Awesome Blow?

 

[Shade]

Updated. Whew!

 

[Shade]

We'll need to figure out AC for each size. Should we just follow the earth elemental (Small = +7, Med = +8, Large = +9, Huge = +11)?

 

[demiurge1138]

I think we should give the Small less and the Huge more. Have a wider spread.
Small +5
Medium +8
Large +10
Huge +13?
