Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[BOZ]

i figure they should probably be the same as a faedorne, Fey (extraplanar).

 

[Shade]

That works, too.

assuming that:

I'll agree on that. I checked the Rules Cylopedia and DMR2 Creature Catalog, and the faedorne and the Silver Warrior are the only two 'Enchanted Humanoids' in the two books.

Oh, and the BD&D term for Construct is... Construct. Although in the RC they are all given the Enchanted subtype, but in DMR2 none of them are given it. Go figure.

Feats: Improved Initiative, Power Attack?, Weapon Focus (Longsword)?

Do we want to give them a 'See Invisibility' ability? Mainly so that they where each other is.

Add the Extraplanar subtype like the faedorne.

I agree with the stats and feats Mortis presented, and think see invis is a good idea.

It looks like their armor and weapons were made of silver as well. So we're looking at the -1 penalty on damage again (but it does help against lycanthropes and devils ). Alchemical silver does not appear to have any impact on armor. Magic of Faerun says silver armor (different from the alchemical silver found in DMG) grants electricity resistance 2.

 

[BOZ]

I'd go with the DMG, for simplicity's sake. If there is no penalty, we will assign no penalty. if there is a penalty, we can make it magic armor.

 

[Shade]

So be it.

 

[Mortis]

How about something along the lines of:

Silver Armor - A creature, that has Damage Redustion X/silver (such as a lycanthrope), which uses a natural weapon against the wearer of the Silver Armor and hits the target must make a Fortitude save DC X or take X points of damage.

It could also give a bonus vs being grappled by such a creature.

does simply touching silver harm a lycanthrope, or does it come from a wound inflicted by silver?
