Converting Planescape monsters

[freyar]

Agreed to all that. I think we had a bite version of a rend recently, too. Maybe in the prehistoric thread?

That sounds... feasible.

Base stats around nightmares?

Physical stats, perhaps, but they are far less intelligent and have 4 less HD.

Nightmare scores: Str 18, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 13, Cha 12

 

[freyar]

Hmm, given the fewer HD, how about Str 16, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 1, Wis 11, Cha 11?

 

[demiurge1138]

Well, mammals are generally given an Int of 2, so let's stick to that. Not sure how I feel about reducing their Con, either.

 

[freyar]

Str 16, Dex 13, Con 16, Int 2, Wis 11, Cha 11?

 

[Shade]

Heavy warhorses are Str 18, Dex 13, Con 17, Int 2, Wis 13, Cha 6, so I could see mirroring those mental stats, and not dropping Str below 18. They are melee brutes after all.

So maybe Str 18, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 2, Wis 13, Cha 6?

 

[freyar]

Beatcha to it, but I think I like your stats better anyway.

 

[Shade]

Added basics to Homebrews.

 

[demiurge1138]

Those stats appeal. Although I sort of feel sorry for these guys. Rather quixotic that they're the bane of creatures with four more HD...
