Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Fish Priest]

I'm going for C. These guys may not be great fighters (low Str) but neither do they seem flimsy (low con). Cha penalty should not be higher than for gnolls, Int bonus seems good, as does wis.

And give them Cleric as a favoured class.

favored class cleric sounds fine based on what i've seen so far.

i'm leaning towards option A for the KISS principle if nothing else. it's balanced, too.

Cleric sounds good to me as well.

I think that's a given.

A is my second choice. Then again as the only abilities modified in the HW set are Str and Wis I suppose its the most accurate.

Magical Aptitude sounds like a great feat for the clerics, but what about the regular warriors? Unless they have some spellcasting ability that I didn't notice?

I'm actually fine with going the -2 Str, +2 Wis, -2 Cha route now that I think about it. Clerics will overcome the Cha deficit by raising their Cha as needed, and their Wis should compensate for any loss there.

(ack, and Shade, i wish i could look at Fiendish Codex I: The Lost Annals, but i'm at work! )

No the regular hutakaan don't get any spellcasting ability, so another feat? I would make it a defensive feat (dodge, mobilty etc) rather than a more offensive feat given their general outlook.

Well its still my favourite.

One new obyrith type demon the Laghathti (CR 10)
one detailed layer - The Woeful Escarand (layer 400)
and several (8)other layers are outlined.

Yeah, I think we argued this at one point. However, a bonus to Spellcraft and Use Magic Device doesn't exactly hurt warriors, either. It's nice to know what spell just hit fried your innards, right?

Check your e-mail.

sweet! that's good stuff.

i don't mind sticking with Magical Aptitude, though another feat might be more useful for the general warriors. i'm fine with whatever you guys want to do with that.

so, are we going with -2 Str, +2 Wis, -2 cha?

 

[Shade]

If we go with the -2 Cha, I think we need to offset it with a +2 bonus to Int or Con.

 

[Aspect of BOZ]

i'd say Int is more likely than Con.
