[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8966053, member: 57383"] Well for the time being we should focus on the base Modronoid. So we'd better start talking stats. Is there a 3E monster we can use as a model? They're sort-of like Half-Golems, but that's a Template not a monster. Let's see… Medium Construct seems the obvious answer for [B]Size & Type[/B]. Directly translating some of the original stats give us some numbers. [B]Armor Class[/B] 18, probably all from natural armor. Most likely +8 like full plate armor. [B]Speed[/B] 20 feet. The original creature's [B]Strength[/B] was possibly 18 as it did 1d6+2 with its arm blades, and a +2 damage matches Str 18 in AD&D. Speaking of its arm blades, I'm thinking they might just have the stats of a shortsword (including critical threat range). So its [B]Attacks[/B] maybe do 1d6+4/19-20 damage? Presumably it has mental abilities somewhere around 10 as the original had [B]Intelligence[/B] Average. Its [B]Wisdom[/B] and [B]Charisma[/B] might be lower than that going by the descriptions. [B]Dexterity[/B] undetermined. Not sure whether to make it a living construct with a [B]Constitution[/B] score or a regular Construct with Con — or not. I can see arguments for both. Any thoughts?
