Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

It doesn't meet the prerequisites (+8 BAB) when it "got the feat" (at 6 HD). I'm not sure about the rules-kosherness of that, but it always strikes me as distasteful. So, in other words, I vote Power Attack.

As far as I've always been able to tell, it appears kosher (if distasteful). I'm fine with Power Attack, though.

How much racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks?

Split the skill ranks between Listen and Spot?

Organization: Solitary or x (2-4) [x=flight? terror?]

Challenge Rating: 6?

Treasure: x (Type "D" in 2e looks like standard)

Alignment: Usually(?) neutral evil

Advancement: 9-16 HD (Large); 17-24 HD (Huge)?

A jaleeda bird is 8 to 9 feet tall with a 30-foot wingspan. It weighs x pounds. They have a lifespan of 50 years.

Let's go with Power Attack, then.

Just a +2 bonus, I think. There's nothing that indicates they are particularly unsurprised.

Splitting the skill ranks seems good.

Go with terror!

CR 6 sounds ok.

Standard treasure, usually NE, advancement look good.

Do we have a weight for something like a dire eagle? I just looked at the giant owl, but no luck? Otherwise, I'd have to suggest something like 100-150 lb.

We're in luck!

"A fully grown dire eagle weights up to 650 pounds."

And that's about the right size? Which book is that from, btw?

 

[Shade]

Races of Stone, of all places.

Updated, with flavor!

What's left?

I don't see anything missing. We must be close to another batch of 10...

Check the "Current Conversions Requests" thread. We're close to a batch of 50!

Wowsers, you'll be busy uploading those to the CC!

Yeah, I plan to try to add 10 today. We got ahead for awhile there, and I like to give each batch at least a week in the "spotlight". I"m also trying to upload themed batches now, so just having 10 doesn't immediately necessitate an upload.
