Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Cleon]

I prefer Tiny if we're voting, just for the novelty.

Well, I'm still undecided.

Where did I put that d2...

Just click the "add dice roll" button in the corner for a nice graphical d4.

 

[Mortis]

A second vote for Tiny.

Nay, those electronic coins are often of dubious randomness.

Besides, us oldschoolers prefer the heft of the real thing.

I was sure I had a copper d2 in my back pocket, but nothing turned up.

Never mind, I've got one now. Heads for Small, Tails for Tiny.

Flip!

It's tails!

So we've got three votes for Tiny, so we might as well proceed with that.

Caymar are "incredibly tough" but have average intelligence. Shall we downscaling the Gurrash by 2 sizes for the physical stats but use standard lizardfolk for the mental ones?

That comes out:

Tiny Gurrash: Str 9, Dex 14, Con 10
Lizardfolk: Int 9, Wis 11, Cha 10

Hmm, if they're so tough I think I'd either give then Con 12 or Endurance as a bonus feat.

+1 natural armour?

Cayman: Str 9, Dex 14, Con 10 or 12?, Int 9, Wis 11, Cha 10, +1 NA

We did settle on giving them 1 Hit Dice instead of 2 like the original monster, didn't we?

I think I prefer Con 12.

We had a compromise of starting Tiny 1HD and advancing to Small 2HD. But I don't mind if we start at Tiny 2HD, depending what everyone else thinks.

 

[Shade]

Tiny, Con 12, don't care one way or the other about 1 or 2 HD.

 

[GrayLinnorm]

We should keep in mind that most 1 HD humanoids are Level 1 warriors.

 

[Mortis]

Con 12, 1HD warrior.

I was sure I had a copper d2...

Hmm... I remember those, tried it with a d2 in my pocket, it landed on a magnet and came up 'edge'.

Con 12, 1HD warrior.

Good point. Lets go that route.

Yes, I know.

I'd rather make it an exception so it's easier to excuse an Advancement to Small, but I don't mind making it a Tiny 1st level warrior with just "by character class" advancement.
