Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Shade]

It looks good, and no, I don't think that their manoeverability should be affected. My reasoning...a single flying creature can, as part of a grapple, attempt to move the grapple, without any penalty to their movement. They may lose the ability to fly altogether due to carrying capacity, though.

My reasoning on it affecting the manoeverability was that it would be difficult for both creatures to turn at the same precise moment. However, it won't really affect the game if manoeverability isn't affected , and as it isn't mentioned in the Dragon article (with even more creatures being able to fly as one) then I'll retract my suggestion.

I can see where you're coming from, but this is one of those frequent reality for the sake of simplicity compromises, I believe.

I don't know for sure if it appeared there first, but the darkwing was in The Five Shires.

Monsters of the Five Shires (p65-68): Deep glaurant, feywing, nightgleet, rockfang, seergar, wychlamp

Sorry, no dice! (unless you were talking about an appearance outside of the new monsters section)

BTW, please put this one on pause. I swear, I will resume this conversion after the American Thanksgiving holiday (the 24th).

 

[Filby]

Oh, right -- I had it confused with the deep glaurant. My bad.

 

[BOZ]

OK, i'm going to try to find out where else it came from.

 

[BOZ]

i just hope this one doesn't end up in next month's Dragon.

 

[Shade]

I doubt it will...it's too much like the desmodu...and we know how people love them.

heh

OK, looks like AC9 Creature Catalog was the original source for the dark wing, oddly enough.


so, agree on Str 15, Dex 12, Con 12, Int 7, Wis 13, Cha 8 or not?
