Converting prehistoric creatures

[Shade]

That is a nice pattern.

Updated.

Suggested tactics?

Does my flavor text and description suffice?

 

[Leopold]

Combat:
Deinotherium will normally attack with it's massive front legs and attempt to crush it's opponents with them using it's great strength and reach or with it's massive trunk.

If the opponent moves into melee range Deinotherium wil rise on it's hind legs and come crashing down upon it's foe goreing them to death.


Flavor text could use a bit more work but everywhere I search has that same exact line so it might be just simple enough to run with.

A massive "relative" of the elephant. Not "ancestor".

I thought we wanted 1/2 Str for the gore, not 1-1/2 Str.

Assuming that, CR 8?

Pardon me for being a grammar Nazi, but I noticed these problems:

• Wrong form of "its." "it's" = it is, "its" = possessive.
• Also, you misspelled "will" and "goring."
• I added some commas.

Grammar nazi.
I leave spellcheck, grammar, and all that jazz upto Shade. I'm just the IdeaMan!

Don't go all Godwin on this thread!

Updated.

All done?

 

[Leopold]

looks good. Can we get a dino dino saur next time around? Or a bird or cat? Something besides fat rhinos and elephant clones.

Too late, my friend. You get what's left on the unconverted pile. About as close as I can get for you is a giant turtle or an armored prehistoric fish.

Actually, I vote for both of those. I assume by giant turtle you mean Archelon? Someone already did the land-walking giant turtle somewhere....

Exactly where is this unconverted pile (ufo list - and by ufo I mean un-finished opportunity/object)? I actually have another potential project for this thread, if the remaining pile is really that drab and repetitive....?

It involves reviewing and refining the creatures listed on the Wizards Dino/Dire index of linked content, some of which drastically needs to be balanced and reviewed for things like CR, physical descriptions, as Animal Companions/Familiars/Mounts, etc.

I am also putting together a list of Dino/Primitive-styled Guardinals and their own leadership (such as Talisid and the Five Companions of the Book of Exalted Deeds)..... In case that inspires your fancy?
