Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Cleon]

What is twice as much as "none given"?

Double-none I guess. It must be a number if James Bond uses it...

Are you OK with 500 pounds, or do you prefer the original 1000 pounds?

500 makes sense.

500 makes sense.

Good-oh!

I suggested 10 × Hold Breath like a Sea Turtle:

Hold Breath (Ex): A snapper can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 10 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning. For a typical snapper, this is 150 rounds, or 15 minutes.

That's considerably less than the original's 10 turns (=100 minutes) or the Mystara version's 2 hours, but it'd be enough for me.

Feats and skills next?

Listen 3, Spot 3?

Endurance, Multiattack (B) [?], Weapon Focus (heavy crossbow) ?

That would all work for me.

CR 2 is probably good; they're slightly weaker than a bugbear but not a full CR's worth.

Snappers do not form closely knit tribes, have no recognised leaders, and do not build permanent settlements. Instead, they prefer to roam across the oceans, travelling in small groups from one hunting ground to another.

So org should not be solitary but should include a small family or hunting group. Then maybe an org for egg-laying season when bunches of them get together.

Agreed with everything in the update and all of this...

Updating Working Draft with Challenge Rating 2.

Their #Appearing is variously 1-20, 1d20, or 2d10 depending on which source you use. That seems fairly consistent.

So, what's a good collective noun for anthropomorphic snapping turtles? A chomp of snappers? A cluster of snappers? A hardcase of snappers?

Their 2E writeups both use "Pack", so I suppose we could use that...

Organisation: Solitary or pack (2-20)

Clutch - not very aggressive sounding I know.

A mandible of snappers?
