There are older monsters that I'd love to bring back to my table, and having converted a few, I've been left with a few questions about bring them up to 5e's design paradigm:(Original) TSR-Era Monsters: Due to 5e's hit die/hit point/damage bloat, a strait conversion of old hit dice to new creates monsters that are weaker than they should be for an equivalet level of challenge. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to increase the HD to old creature to make them fit the hp bloat of 5e?3.x-Era Monsters: These monsters seem to have a similar problem with hp (especially low-level monsters). Also, the ability scores of 3.x monsters seem to be higher than what 5e tends to use. 4e-Era Monsters: I never so much as played 4e, so I really don't know how to compare 4e stats to 5e in a informed fashion.Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</blockquote>
