Spelljammer Converting Spelljammer creatures

[Arnwyn]

Yes, that works for me too.

1d10+10 rounds and minutes work for me as the two durations.

I'll update the Standard Gossamer Working Draft and the Noble Gossamer Working Draft with that.

I gave the Gossamer Swarms' acid puddle the same duration as the Standard Gossamer, although their is an argument for giving it a longer duration since the Swarm's acid is between the two in intensity.

Hoping to have a bit more time for conversions for the rest of the year (boy, feels weird to type that!).

What, all four days of it!

Before we get much further with the Noble Gossamer we'd better decide on its mental stats, if only so I can fill in its Will save.

Int 3, Wis 12, Cha 6 maybe?

 

[freyar]

That's fine, I guess, but do you have a rationale not to use average 10 or 11 Wis & Cha?

 

[Arnwyn]

I'm good too, but also curious (if nothing else, for my own knowledge and improving my conversion skills!).

I just randomly picked another creature with the same Int, namely the Tendriculos (Int 3, Wis 8, Cha 3) and bumped its Wisdom and Charisma up a bit.

It seems appropriate to give it a slightly-above-average Wisdom, since it's basically a predatory animal and most of those tend to have Wisdom around 12 and Charisma somewhat lower than 10. (e.g. the Lion at Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6).

I would prefer to give it a decent Wisdom though, if only for the sake of its Spot checks and Will saves.

However, it doesn't really amount to much what Charisma we give it, since I doubt it'll use it for anything.

Tell you what, I'll go for Wis 12, but I think I'd rather stick to a lower Cha, especially since the standard gossamer is Cha 1. How about Cha 4 or even Cha 2 (I'm sure you're trying to keep it even)? It is a giant space jellyfish after all.

But... but... it's a pretty giant space jellyfish!

I'd be OK with that. Do you have a preference for 4 or 2 for the Charisma, or shall we roll a digital dice for it?

 

[Arnwyn]

LOL!

I vote Cha 4. (I want the "noble" to mean something!)

 

[Cleon]

Well that's at least 2 out of 3, so I'll update the Noble Gossamer Working Draft with that.
