[QUOTE="Aspect of BOZ, post: 3439375, member: 41113"] for the sake of reference, back then you really only had three size categories: S, M, and L. M (which was "man-sized" rather than Medium) was 5-7' tall and within the approximate build and mass of a human. S meant smaller than that, and L meant larger than that. however, in this case, i'm inclined to think that they simply mean "larger than a normal crow". i'm thinking to make him a Medium sized bird, and maybe a 7-foot tall humanoid. should we go with Alternate Form or Change Shape? Alternate Form: quasit, imp, dragon (bronze, gold, silver), eladrins, lycanthropes, phasm Change Shape: aranea, hound archon, barghest, doppelganger, rakshasa, slaad (green, gray, death) note that what creature(s) we copy from isn't all that important, because Mal won't have the exact same stats in that form anyway. rather than say that he has the stats of a giant raven (for example), it's more like he has his own normal stats but borrows a few abilities in his other form. nah, i'll leave reimaging/reinventing these guys up to you guys at DF. :) to keep it easy on myself, i just stick with reinterpreting the D&D material. getting results using different methods means that DMs can choose which version suits them better - or they can create their own version which may be an amalgam of the two or none of the above. :) [/QUOTE]
