Converting original D&D and Mystara monsters

[Shade]

It looks like all that's missing is the organization lines and consensus on the treasure line of the philospher and CR of the malice.

organization... let's see. a base GP would have 2-8. we could just go with that. it's possible that the GP would be older and thus have more, but it's just as possible that someone got into its lair and killed a few. 2-8 sound fair enough?

treasure... in BD&D it was given treasure type O, but in 2E it was given no treasure at all. does type O (negative) indicate anything beyond bokos and scrolls that we might want to give it, or should we just stick with what we have now?

2-8 and stick with what we have now works for me.

Had a couple of days off

2-8 malices and stick to what we have for treasure. I can check what type O gives though if you like.

One last thing, we're still missing the amount of Dex drained with the Shriek of Fear.

Shriek of Fear (Su): At the moment of a gray philosopher’s death, it unleashes a horrifying shriek. Living creatures within 60 feet must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or take X points of Dexterity drain and be shaken. The shaken effect can be removed from a creature with a remove fear or remove curse spell. The save DC is Charisma-based.

In the 2e MMC it lost 1 point, but I suggest upping it to 2.

I agree.

if you don't mind, sure.

Type O Treasure

No coins
No Gems
No Jewellry
10% 1d3 Special Items
50% 1d4 Scrolls

Special Items include books, furs, perfume, rare spices etc.

Maybe standard coins; double goods (mostly books); double items (mostly scrolls)?

So change it to no coins; double goods (mostly books); double items (scrolls only)?

Just need to confirm CR for malice and the number of malices in the Organization lines.

Here's an idea, maybe the gray philosopher advances a Hit Dice each century - you could then tie in the additional malices to increases in Hit Dice.

i set the treasure line up like this:
Treasure: Standard coins; double goods (75% books); double items (scrolls only)

advancing 1 HD per century doesn't seem so appropriate for 3E, as i understand it. however, perhaps if you like, we could say that it gains maybe 1d4 malices per HD it gains?

Looks good.

There is precedence for the "by century" bit. See evolved undead in Libris Mortis.

I'm fine with the other option, though.
