Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

Actaeons Characters

Most actaeons are druids, rangers, or barbarians. An actaeon cleric has access to two of the following domains: Animal, Knowledge, Plant, or Protection.

updating - how's he looking now?

 

[Shade]

I think he's done. I'd wait for response from Mortis and GrayLinnorm before calling it complete, though.

 

[BOZ]

sure, let's see how the fans like it.

 

[GrayLinnorm]

Except for an extra question mark in the Breath Weapon section, it looks done to me.

I agree - it's looking good except for the duration of the breath attack. Are we going for a fixed or variable duration? 3 rounds seems fine, characters will just avoid the area after the first round anyway.

You have a good point. No one will walk into the cloud two rounds later, unless they have no Int score or are blind. I'll make it a one-round effect, like the iron golem I patterned it after.

Quite right! I suppose a duration of longer than 1 round would only be effective in a confined space or if the target is held/paralyzed etc (in which case the cloud could be the least of their problems )

right. requests? here are a few examples i posted before...

In an effort to get this thread moving again, I started going through the 2E Mystara MC. I wrote up brief descriptions of creatures I'd like to convert for those who are unfamiliar with them:

Agarat: 4 HD, CE - ghoul-like undead, has energy draining scream

Ash Crawler: 3 HD, N - burrowing fire creature with clamping jaws

Baldandar: 6 HD, NE - shapeshifting humanoids with a poisonous bite and magic

Bhut: 7 HD, LE - shapeshifting humanoids with a numbing bite

Coltpixy: 3 HD, CN - unicorn-like pony

Crone of Chaos: 6 HD, CE - relative of the hag that controls animals

Darkhood: 13 HD, NE - undead that feeds on fear

Darkwing: 3 HD, NE - flying humanoids that hunt at night


If you're looking for more info on each of these, there are 3.0 conversions at the Vaults of Pandius

 

[GrayLinnorm]

It's not on the list given, but I'd like to see the ebon tiger converted.
