Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

How about Iron Will or Lightning Reflexes instead, then? Its saves are pretty unfortunate.

 

[Shade]

How about both, and make Improved Initiative a bonus feat?

 

[freyar]

Iron Will makes a little more sense, I guess. We could swap Imp Init for Lightning Reflexes, too, but it doesn't have a good init either.

Edit: Shade beat me to it, and I like his solution better.

Updated.

Should we give it some sort of camouflage ability while in its passive state? Maybe like this?

Camouflage (Ex): Since an assassin vine looks like a normal plant when at rest, it takes a DC 20 Spot check to notice it before it attacks.

Anyone with ranks in Survival or Knowledge (nature) can use one of those skills instead of Spot to notice the plant. Dwarves can use stonecunning to notice the subterranean version.

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed to camouflage; I think the DC should be high--25 or even 30. After all, mold-encrusted caverns aren't too uncommon, and unlike an assassin vine, a passive mold wyrm isn't even the same shape.

Updated.

Environment: Underground?

Organization: Solitary?

Challenge Rating: 8-9?

Treasure: None?

A mold wyrm is about 25 feet long and 10 feet in diameter. It weighs over x pounds.

Mold wyrms cannot speak but understand x. (They are intelligent enough to understand a language, but I'm fine if we don't even let them understand one).

CR 10, maybe CR 9. They can do a ton of damage and the spore cloud is nasty. They do have an absolutely pathetic AC... but a non-avoidable 50% miss chance. And are they really getting SR = CR +3? That strikes me as so low as to be not worth it.

They should understand Undercommon.

We should also set DCs for their spore abilities.

They had 10% magic resistance originally. I'm fine with boosting or dropping it, though.

 

[demiurge1138]

If we boosted it, let's make it CR 10. Dropping it, CR 9.

I'd also like it if their swallow whole did bludgeoning damage in addition to spore exposure.

 

[freyar]

Let's do CR 9. Agreed to damage and spore exposure for swallow whole.

Slightly smaller but probably denser remhoraz is 10,000 lb. So 8000 lb for this?
