[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6368257, member: 57383"] I used the 3.5 Creature Catalog new 3.5 conversions (Part Two) version of the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?289181-Creature-Catalog-new-3-5-conversions-%28Part-Two%29/page8&p=5544243#post5544243"]Psionic Leech[/URL] instead of the CC version since it involved less reformating of the text. When we get around to the Noble, does the "Hit Dice: 58" mean they are actually meant to have "fifty eight" Hit Dice, or is it a missing hyphen typo and the original was intended to be "five to eight" Hit Dice? What am I thinking, the THAC0: 3* answers that question. If it had 5-8 Hit Dice it'd have THAC0 15 or 13, so they really do have 58 HD. I guess that makes sense - they are supposed to be substantial enough to be both enemies and food for a Gammaroid. A 5 HD gossamer noble wouldn't have a chance against that giant space turtle. It just seemed an odd number of Hit Dice for them to have.
